Itesiwaju ilu dowo wa
Ibikibi ti a wa, e je a fimo sokan.

It all started like a child's play when some conscious Ilobu indigenous students of tertiary institutions met on Saturday, 30th November 1991. Coincidentally, it was during the wedding ceremony of Mr. Adebisi Dauda, who later became a special adviser to the union. The meeting took place inside the library of the Ilobu Secondary Commercial Grammar School, Ilobu, but now School of Science, Ilobu. The seed, which was sown on that day, has now germinated into a giant three with virile branches all over the country.

At the end of the first meeting of the union, Mr Awotunde Isiaq who was then a student of Economics at the University of Ilorin, was appointed as the co-ordinator of the union. His first task was to mobilise and sensitize his colleagues to form a union that would create a forum where the issues that bordered on the growth and development of young generations ditto Ilobu would be raised, discussed and settled. The rest is now history.

Through the sheer determination of the pioneers especially the concerned efforts of the co-ordinator, the first executive council of the union was put in place through an election on the 4th January, 1992. At the end of the election, Mr Olaniran Mikhail, who was then a student of Estate Management at Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, was elected as the first president of Ilobu National Students' Union.  The Union, being new in the town, encountered a number of problems at the beginning. Some of the problems included the luke-warm attitude on the part of members of the community and the problem of a permanent secretariat that would serve as the house where the ideal ideology of the Union could be hatched.

The 1992 administration of the Union carefully tackled the teething problems through gradual mobilisation and sensitization.
