The meeting was held after the leadership of Federation of Iwoland Students’ Union (FILSU) promised to go on a massive protest as a result of poor governance, lack of funding the union’s activities and non-inclusion of youths in their plan.

Hon Kamo Raji and the representatives of 2 other LCDAs ensued for peace and mutual understanding with the union. Kamo Raji said Iwo Local Government is facing some financial challenges let alone fund a project above N200,000 in the community.
