Dated January, 29th 2023. I Am honoured to be elected as the Chairman at this stage of our development and I appreciate our member's confidence reposed in me for this responsibility. I am putting up with the responsibility for commitment because there is much to do within a short period.
First and foremost, it is time for The Exclusives to take up our foremost social club in Ikorodu Division. This must be done with dedication and accountability. To this end, we want to resume our obligation and participation in the activities of the Ikorodu Oga Development Association and other community associations in which our members are movers.
Further to this, we will increase our community intervention activities, strengthening therapeutic lessons for school leavers and actions which I will discuss in detail at the general meeting. The State-of-Ikorodu will be a formal part of the agenda of our monthly meetings to enable us to focus on issues of the community and intervene when necessary.
The ideals of the club must a maintained. I have secured the commitment of every Executive Committee to reach out to members who are lagging while I have a personal ambition to enlarge the membership without compromising the standards.
My administration will mobilise the members to work on the Secretariat project and set a target of achieving it as soon as possible.
It is pertinent to mention that we're ready to move with media technology by hosting The Exclusives website which will not lack quality content.
There is no intention of changing the model of The Exclusives, but the dynamics must change and the preeminence of its membership should reflect without winking in the dark. There must be discipline and we must celebrate ourselves. The new Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mr Said Sanusi SAN will have his reception in due course. By the grace of God, there will continue to be great things to celebrate. I must thank my predecessors, from the founding Chairman, Dr Bolaji Ajenifuja, OFR (now Patron) to the outgoing Chairman, Alhaji Wasiu Allison, for the tremendous work done to put up such an image that we all enjoy. I hereby seek your support and the support of all members going forward. The Board of Trustees is a worthy institution by its membership. We intend to tap into you. Finally, as activities define institutions, I urge us to rededicate to The Exclusives, It will pay off. May God continue to bless us and our respective families and friends.
