Colleagues, this tenure, our association is set to focus on efforts that help unleash our growth as individuals and plug it into our centre as an association.

Our goal as an executive council for the tenure is to develop and roll out activities that harness the quality of people we have in our association, drive their growth, which I believe will ultimately project the association.

My prayer and hope are that we will all be ignited into giving a hand in this new phase of our journey.

Myself and my team, will greatly rely on your skills, knowledge, ideas and resources in fuelling our collective ambitions.

We can and must make a big jump not only in our internal image but external too, this can make happen all by the rich human capital we have here. I want to state this again, we have all it takes, we have so much potential in house, the membership of this association in my honest view has some of the most brilliant and gifted people our nation can boast. Our job as Executives and Members is to steer our ship together, shape our fortunes, hold the hands of both young and old, weak and strong, growing and accomplished, right till our impact hits the last corner of our country. If you are in doubt of our potential, turn and look at the APEC member sitting beside you!
