*IBADAN, OYO STATE* — In a landmark move to prioritize student welfare and road safety, the leadership of the *Federation of Oyo State Students’ Union (FOSSU) National Council* on Sunday paid a high-level courtesy visit to the *Oyo State Sector Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps*.

*PUTTING STUDENTS FIRST: KEY AGREEMENTS REACHED*
The strategic engagement focused on 3 student-centered initiatives aimed at saving lives and easing access to essential services:

1. *Affordable Mobility for Students*
FOSSU proposed a *subsidized driver’s license registration scheme* exclusively for Oyo State students. Corps Commander Dahunsi applauded the idea and gave his commitment to work with FOSSU to make the process smooth, affordable, and accessible across all tertiary institutions in the state.

2. *A Voice Inside FRSC: The FOSSU Students’ Desk Office*
In a first-of-its-kind gesture, the Commandant *graciously approved the establishment of a dedicated FOSSU–FRSC Students’ Desk Office* within the Oyo Command. The desk will serve as a bridge for road safety education, student complaints, and collaborative campaigns across campuses.

3. *Official Identity for Student Leadership*
