Championing Student Empowerment: The Inspiring Journey of Oyedele Iyanuoluwa Samuel (Sambest Mrm)
Oyedele Iyanuoluwa Samuel, popularly known as Sambest Mrm, stands as a beacon of hope for student leadership and youth development in Nigeria.
As the first Senate President of the Student Union Government at Federal Polytechnic, Offa, his groundbreaking leadership and commitment to the welfare of students have cemented his legacy as a transformative figure in student politics.
Hailing from Ipetu Ijesha in Osun State, Sambest’s dedication to public service began early in his academic journey, but his most notable role came as Welfare Director at the National Association of Osun State Students (NAOSS).
At the national headquarters, he spearheaded programs designed to uplift students and foster unity. One of the most significant of these initiatives was the youth summit he organized, where he distributed laptops, irons, fans, and other essential gadgets to students.
This gesture of kindness not only empowered students with the tools necessary for their studies but also reinforced his commitment to addressing their day-to-day needs.
Beyond his role at NAOSS, Sambest has shown exceptional entrepreneurial acumen.

As Senate President of the Student Union at Federal Polytechnic, Offa, Sambest was a relentless advocate for student welfare. In collaboration with the Reformation Movement, he championed a cause dear to many: student healthcare.
Recognizing the inadequacies of the school’s clinic, Sambest and his team took decisive action, pushing the school management to address the lack of essential healthcare services. Their advocacy resulted in the temporary shutdown of the clinic, which forced the administration to overhaul its services. Within hours, a plan was in motion to better equip the clinic and provide students with improved healthcare services, marking a significant victory for student welfare under Sambest’s leadership.
Sambest’s leadership journey is one defined by service, courage, and a deep-seated passion for youth development.
