A TEXT OF THE MONTHLY ADDRESS BY THE PRESIDENT OF AHSO, OLD STUDENTS’ ASSOCIATION, ALHAJI LATEEF BAKARE, FCA    

  All protocols duly observed.

As usual, I say congratulations to all of us for witnessing the tenth month of the year. 

We give all praises to God Almighty, the Controller of the universe.   I pray that Allah will bless us as individuals and collectively in this month of October.

I am delighted to report that we are making a steady progress as an Association.  

After the last Summit, the Executive, and the various sub-committees have commenced work on various initiatives that will stand us out as a dynamic Old Students’ Association in due course. 

Many of the action plans will be made public in due course as we shall expect your cooperation as usual.  

We are comparing notes with similar Associations and our findings have shown that our members have been wonderful in their commitment to the development of the Association in particular and the school in general. 

Many thanks for this support.

By the grace of Allah, the school shall be celebrating her 2022/2023 Valedictory Service/Prize-Giving Ceremony on Thursday, 5th October, 2023 at Osu. The time is 10: 00 am. We shall be pleased to see many of us in attendance as a way of encouraging the students. 

Let me quickly appreciate those buddies and families who have extended their hands of fellowship to the Association with a view to making the programme a huge one.  The response has been so encouraging as many colleagues have joined the list of annual donors. We are appreciative of this gesture. I pray that Allah will replenish your purse. 

In addition, as part of our plan to improve the academic performances of the students after critically examining the last school certificate result of the school, we have decided to use the opportunity to meet the stakeholders in the development of the school; viz, the Ministry of Education officials, the Academic staff and the Parents-Teachers’ Association of the school, shortly before the programme, to cross-fertilize ideas on how to improve on the present performances of the students.

Let me use this opportunity to appreciate the various Chapters and Sets of the Association that have been holding regular meetings, inviting others to their fold and also assisting one another. 

I want to commend the efforts of those individuals behind such moves. Let us continue to live a life of value. May God continue to bless you all.

Ladies and gentlemen, I want to thank you all once again for being there all the time. 

As I always say, we cannot do it alone; this is a voluntary organization that requires service and commitment. 

May Allah grant our heart’s desires in this new month.

THANK YOU ALL.
