MANIFESTO NIGHT BRINGS FORTH A NEW DAWN FOR FASA ELECTIONS

The Faculty of Arts Students Association's (FASA) Manifesto and Debate Night, held on 21 June 2024, was a well-attended event that set the stage for FASA's upcoming elections. With the majority of the executive posts unopposed, the highlight of the event was the highly competitive positions for Assistant General Secretary, Vice President, and President.

The aspirants, each graded on appearance, composure, charisma, prowess and fluency, and manifesto, displayed their skills and vision for FASA to the enthusiastic audience.

The grading of each candidate was as follows:

Director of Sport:

Adebimpe Israel (65%)

Director of Socials:

Nkechi Chiamaka (74%)

PRO:

Adedeji Oluwaseyi (67%)

Treasurer:

Omotosho David (73%)

Financial Secretary:

Adepoju Segun (61%)

Assistant General Secretary:

Festus Olamilekan (65%) vs. David Adedayo (69%)

Vice President:

Olatunji Olamide (70%) vs. Shokatire Temiloluwa (64%)

President:

Ore-Ewi Praise (74%) vs. Adetunji Lawrence (73%)

The event, which went smoothly without the disruptions that marred last year's event, showcased the aspirants' strong commitment to FASA's values and future.

The manifesto night also brought to light a significant development: the rejection of the proposed electronic voting system by the FASA members despite the commission demo trial. The General Secretary, Abidemi, confirmed that the election would proceed with the traditional paper-based voting.

In a statement, FASA Chairman Alabi urged the aspirants to maintain peace and order during the election process, scheduled for Monday, 24 June. "Let us honour that voice and ensure a smooth, fair, and democratic electoral process." The electoral chairman said.

The upcoming FASA election promises to be an exciting and pivotal moment for the association. As candidates vie for leadership positions and members prepare to cast their ballots, the spirit of FASA's democracy is sure to shine through.

NCB: Good evening. Nice to have you here. How do you do? Afeez:Good evening. I'm good. You? NCB: I am very well. Thank God Can you introduce yourself? Tell us about your background. Afeez: My name is Olagbaju Afeez Olatomide. I'm from a muslim family of 6. I have three siblings and we are all boys. NCB: How about your educational background? Afeez: I spent all my educational life up to this moment in Ife. I attended Pearl Preparatory School while in nursery class. I proceeded to Faith Standard Schools for my primary and secondary education. I finished secondary school in 2019, applied for English language here in OAU the same year and I got admitted a few months after. NCB: So you mean to type that English was your first choice. Afeez: Yes. I chose English myself. Actually, when I was in SSS 3, I was indecisive on whether I should pursue a degree in Law or English. Later, I got to find out Law wasn't accredited as a programme in OAU that year and since a passionate love fo...

"I WOULD HATE TO MAKE PROMISES BECAUSE THEN I WOULD BE CHALLENGED TO PERFORM ABOVE THEM." - FRANCIS OHACHO, PRESIDENT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH, OAU.

By Mercy Ojegbola NCB: Can we meet you? Francis: I am Francis Fortunatus Ohacho, popularly known as Sael. A part four student in the Department of English, Obafemi Awolowo University, I am the incumbent president of the department's students body. NCB: What motivated you to run for the position of President? Francis: I would like to use cliché pumped up phrases like I'm led by my passion for service and all. People often say they knew I was going for presidency from part one due to my proactiveness, but really I didn't have the Presidency in mind till late second semester of part two. And that's because I have only wanted to support from the sides, being a significant catalyst for development wherever I am. So I've had roles like Vice President and Fin Sec in mind, but not president. I didn't think I had it. My motivation, in summary, would be the realisation of how efficient I can be to an administration. And I don't doubt it, that with the help of the t...

NCB: Your team tag, "Lumora," is quite intriguing. What does it mean, and how does it capture the goals and vision of the administration ??

The concept of light represents clarity, direction, and renewal, which are the guiding principles of this administration. We see ourselves as bearers of light, bringing illumination to grey areas within the faculty and driving a sense of progress and unity among students. So, Team Lumora is not just a name. It is a reflection of our commitment to lead with vision, purpose, and positive transformation. NC...
