New Old Students’ President Promises Empowerment Of Members

New president of the Methodist High School Old Students Association (MEHSOSAI), Dr. Clement Obadimu, has promised to focus on entrepreneurship and the empowerment of the members in the next two years to ensure they become labour employers.

Obadimu, who reeled out his 8-point agenda, after he was elected at the 2025 Annual General Meeting (AGM) & Election of the association at the school’s premises in Arigbajo, Ifo, Ogun State on Saturday, promised to leverage on his contacts and connections to bring experts to train the members on entrepreneurship and other means of making money even as there will be financial empowerment for members to start their dream businesses or expand existing ones.

Similarly, he pledged to restore the school to its former glory, when Methodist High School, Arigbajo, Ifo, was among the best. To realise this, he disclosed that he is already discussing the best approach with the school authority while exploring the option of bringing in qualified and experienced teachers who will teach part-time to cover the lapses the school is experiencing in some subjects.

Promising all-inclusive governance, he pledged to increase MEHSOSAI’s revenue generation, unify members, improve members’ welfare, and persuade old students who are not yet members to join to increase the members’ base.

Disclosing that his administration has packages for the elders among the members, he said, a free toll-line will be opened for them to call, when in need, promising the association will be willing to assist them.

Similarly, he said, every member will have a unique identity number that will be useful for accessing and benefiting from the various initiatives and programmes the administration is implementing.

“We have lots of lofty programmes to reposition this association to a global standard, and I will need the support of everyone to achieve this. I have appointed Special Advisers among you who will be saddled with advising on critical matters. We will use a committee to achieve most of our programmes to ensure everyone is involved, “he appealed to members at the meeting.

The immediate past president, Mr. Sheyik Olasunkanmi, urged the incoming administration to uplift the association’s standard, build on his legacies, and finalise the programmes he started but couldn’t conclude.
