AIG: MY PATH IN LEADERSHIP AND COMMITMENT TO LEGACY


 *MY PATH IN LEADERSHIP AND COMMITMENT TO LEGACY* 


As young man, growing up as Activist and comrade in National Student and Youth Movements in Nigeria, I have carefully followed people, politics and power play. I equally understudy with diligence governance in my country Nigeria, my state Kwara and my LG, Offa.

I have special affinity for legacy at every given opportunities to serve hence I Will point out my path in leadership as Activist operating organisation with zero budget.


While at Student's Union Government, kwara State Polytechnic Ilorin as Director Of Sport II, I worked with my principal to change the popular Rector's Cup from Inter-Institutes Competition to Inter - Department Event to expand participation and discovery of more sporting talents beyound football featuring both Main Campus (PS) and Mini Campus (IOT) as venues, first of it kind in the history of KP then. We also facilitated financial support (SPECIAL BONUS ALLOWANCE FOR ATHLETES) representing our Polytechnicfrom SUG Pulse both at pregame event at Rufus Giwa Poly Owo Ondo State and Main Game at Fed Poly Ado Ekiti in 2008.


While at Offa Student's Union OSU National Headquarters serving as National Director of Sport, aside my loyalty to work and any assignments given by my president, I reinvented Olofas' Cup, a football competition that brought all youth, men and women who are lovers of football together in the Entire Offa Local Government, promote peace and sport development played at 6 locations for wide spread participation and spectators comforts, Ogidiri Primary Sch Field, Apostolic Prim School field, College Of Health Tech Sch pitch, Offa Grammer Sch field, St Cyperian Primary sch field and Fed Poly Offa Stadium for the final. I equally initiated and served as Pioneer Coordinator of Offa student Union Computer Training Center Tag: OSUTECH, Here I trained and certified about 30 fresh secondary school graduates free of charge to enable them partake conveniently in newly intriducted JAMB Computer Base Test then, students were trained on Certificate courses in Micro Computer Operations and Management, this has become a legacy scheme sustained till date  by the union since after our raign.


As NAPS National Officer in capacity of Vice President and Senate President including short Reign as National president, I engaged JAMB to end reintroduction of Scratch card for result checking, I engaged CBN to the point an interface was initiated by security agency where CBN Governor was reprented by Director Banking and Payment System of the apex bank over #100 charges on every withdrawal on another bank ATM different from issuing banks likewise distruction of traped ATM Cards, the meeting agreed to review of the charge and as well alternative ways round immediate distruction of traped ATM cards. Not long After, the CBN reviewed these policies and peg charge to only after 3 transactions and later to #65 and return of cards trapped cards to issuing banks As Against old order of #100 on every transactions and immediate destruction. I took the campaign against HND certificate discrimination more dare to my heart as I appeared on several media platforms as well led delegates to National Council on Establishment over same matter, I refused to give in to money seduction during ASUP longest strike instead stood with Academic Staff Union of Polytechnic ASUP to demand Improve Polytechnic education with aggressive Mass Actions in every major cites of Nigeria, Lagos, Kaduna, Asaba and Abuja. Until NSE pass in to resolution a decision to allow HND holders progress beyound level 14 in Civil Service even though with unwarranted conditions which 3 states have implemented, kwara, kano and Nasarawa states, I never rest we are still pushing to ensure full implementation accross board with removal of the unnecessary conditions. Aside several interventions on campus matters and school fees abitrary increases well fought.


While in WAPSU, I never keep her activites restricted to only during West Africa Polytechnic Games WAPOGA, I organised regional summit and seminars to promote peace and advance technical and technological education development across West Africa Nations under my watch.


I am a critics, I do it constructively, I will never do exactly what I Critically condemned about our political office holders, I am  only going to make a change and do what seems difficult even with available resources.


As  a commoners, son of no body, product of grace, I understand the problem and I have an idea of practical   solutions to the identified problem.


Education with applicable skills are priority, improved security and rivamp economy have no alternative for development so as infrastructure facelift are key to Societal transformation.


Follow me with faith, I won't let you down.


Support my course, you will not only be proud but Please and encourage to do so more and more.


No regret  I assured you.
