The Rector, the Executive Management of FPE, Members of Alumni Executives, SUG President, all protocol duly and respectively observed.
When we took the leadership mantle of the alumni association of this citadel a while ago it looked conventional and ordinary, but today we have been driven into a higher level of resourceful performance by your supports. And it is my greatest pleasure that the members of this Executive Council have continually lived up to the expectation of school’s ecosystem.
We gather weeks ago, as we paraded seasoned facilitators for the entrepreneurship seminar, thank you all for attending. There and then, we promised a number of projects and today we are here witnessing the coming to reality of those promises.
Today, we make real our intentions of making learning conducive to both lecturers and students, starting with donation of lecture materials during the seminar and now donation and commission of 200 units of ceiling fans to the school management is happening.
Jack in our case will and must not become a dull student, as we make learning conducive and create enabling the environment to refresh, and reinvigorate.
Today, we donate standard and fit for purpose Snooker and Table tennis boards to the vibrant Students’ Union Government, for the use of all, we may as well produce another Gary Karparov or Segun Toriola.
On a short note, we are so delighted to have come this far, and we are equally motivated to do more through your supports.
While appreciating once again the Management’s approval on the allocation of land to the Alumni Association for the construction of it’s proposed “Alumni Hall of Fame”, I wish to inform you that the Alumni Executives have swung into action by engaging the Department of Architecture to facilitate the architectural design of the Alumni Hall of Fame via competition among the Architectural students.
Thank you & God bless.
SHITTU, B. OLALEYE
National President
