The 2026 FILSU Legislative Summit 2.0 witnessed a notable moment as His Royal Majesty, Ọba Dr. Abdulazeez Olatunbosun Adebamiji, the Akirè of Ìkirè-Ilé Kingdom, presented an Award of Recognition to Hon. Lukman Mudashiru Alani (L&K), Member representing Iwo/Ayedire/Ola-Oluwa Federal Constituency and Chief Host of the programme.
The award was presented in recognition of Hon. Alani's outstanding performance and contributions, particularly in education, infrastructure and human capital development. The presentation formed part of the activities at the summit organised by the Students' Legislative Council (SLC) of the Federation of Iwoland Students' Union (FILSU), National Headquarters, under the leadership of Rt. Hon. Ademola Stephen Babalola, Speaker of the Council and host of the summit.
Hon. Alani's participation also featured a presentation of his legislative activities and constituency interventions, during which he explained his preference for long-term educational scholarships over the conventional bursary approach. He noted that his scholarship initiative had supported over 300 students across various institutions, covering disciplines such as Law, Computer Science, Medical Laboratory Science, Engineering and other fields.
According to information released by his media team, the scholarship initiative is intended to provide sustained educational support and create opportunities for beneficiaries to complete their academic programmes. Some of the beneficiaries at the Federal College of Education, Iwo, had also graduated in the week preceding the summit.
His presentation provided an opportunity for participants to engage with the impact of educational interventions and the importance of sustained investment in students' academic development.
The summit brought together traditional rulers, political officeholders, academics, professionals, youth advocates and student leaders to deliberate on issues relating to legislation, education, digital rights and youth empowerment. The presence of Hon. Alani as Chief Host and the recognition presented to him by the Akirè added another notable dimension to the gathering.
The event further demonstrated the value of creating platforms where elected representatives and other stakeholders can interact with students, share experiences and engage in conversations about leadership, representation and the development of Iwoland.
