About FOSU
The Federation of Ogotun Students' Union (FOSU) is the conglomeration of all students of tertiary institutions who are of Ogotun extraction, united for academic excellence and community development.
Our Foundation
Originally spearheaded by Late Pa Idowu Awopetu (a.k.a Baba Olope), FOSU serves as the umbrella under which all students of Ogotun meet to discuss life and community development, especially in education.
Unity Through Education
FOSU brings together students from all tertiary institutions, creating a platform for academic excellence, community development, and the preservation of Ogotun's educational heritage.
Our Journey Through Time
