Akeem Adebayo Yakub, a candidate contesting for the post for national president of Osun State Polytechnic Alumni Association, OSPAA has said that his main objective will be to unite the association as there has been no unity for years.
Yakub, made this known during an interview with InsightMedia correspondent earlier this week.
The Graduate of Osun State Polytechnic, said he’s more than qualified to contest for the post of Alunmi President, stating that his antecedents and tracked records speak for him.
He said “I’m qualified for the position because I’m a graduate of the Institution. I paid my dues and attended required number of Congresses”.
“I have also more than the required qualifications. The basic requirement is just that you must possess HND as a graduate of the Institution, which I have. Moreso, I’m an administrator and experienced person who can effectively manage the Association if elected.” He added.
Speaking on his plans if elected as president, Yakub said “I have strategic plans to change the face of this association. There’s no unity in OSPAA, that’s why it’s been witnessing series of problems over the years. If elected, I’ll ensure I bring all factions together to work for a common interest. I’ll restore the unity and bring everyone on board.
The presidential hopeful stated the cause of the division in the Association, he said “What caused division in this association is usually the perennial election and by the special grace of God Almighty, I’ll put a stop to physical election”.
“I’ll introduce digital system of voting which will allow more participation as all members of the Association will have equal right of participation. You can vote at any part of the world. This will significantly put a stop to perennial crises in the Association and allow an all-inclusive government”, he explained.
“Both the Institution and our Association will witness a rapid deployment of technology. The issue of not getting our Certificate, Transcript and other needed documents within a reasonable time will be a thing of the past with the introduction of new technology”.
“Our members can stay at the comfort of their rooms to process their Certificate and Transcript without calling on anyone before they can get it within a reasonable time”.
“We will also promote Synergy and Cooperation among ourselves, those with opportunities will be able to locate those who need them. This will foster unity among members and people will benefit the more”.
“The unemployed members will be able to get job through this development and future business partners can discover themselves and more and more like that. I have all it takes to facilitate infrastructures into OSPOLY and we shall equally ensure upgrade of the existing system. My programs and activities for the period I’m going to use shall take the OSPAA to the next level”, he concluded.
It was gathered that the election for the post of president of Osun State Polytechnic Alumni Association will be held on the 10th of December, 2022.
