AMACOS ‘95 President, Percy Ademokun, in his speech at the event, with the theme: “Together we excel,” encouraged members to embrace the spirit of unity and collaboration, stressing that the set was not just a collection of individuals, but a community, rooted in shared experiences and aspirations.
Following this, Ademokun, who joined virtually, urged members to continue to support one another and reach out to those who may not yet feel connected to the association just yet, raising hope that with unity, members could ensure that the set legacy “endures for years to come”.
The President’s call for togetherness was premised on certain achievements, challenges and triumphs that have been recorded by the executives despite being confronted with many uncertainties.
He attributed the remarkable feats to collective strength and dedication.
For instance, Ademokun pointed out that the executives have connected with old friends, cherished memories, and forged new paths for the future.
The AMACOS ‘95 head listed further: “We started the year with our reconciliatory effort at bringing back members who had either left or were never part of our togetherness which saw the berth of the togetherness event held in December 30, 2023 and the gains reflects in the number of members participation and dues payments.
“We have as an EXCO been able to put together our own multimedia package for live transmission of our events, which is also available for use by members who request for such.
