OGUN STATE CHAPTER (OGUNNAB)
Good day, distinguished members of our great Association,
Today is indeed another memorable day in the history of the Nigeria Association of the Blind (Ogun state chapter) as it marks the beginning of a new era of tranquility and goodwill.
I want to express my deepest gratitude to the amiable delegates from the three senatorial districts of our state; the representative of the Ogun State Ministry of Women Affairs, the founder of this Association in person of Chief Dr Samuel Ade Okubanjo, the national officers of our great Association, the security men, the agents, the volunteers, the media men and women, and above all the esteem members of this Association, who contributed immensely to the success of our congress and election of the new executive members that will pilot the affairs of this Association for the next four (4) years.
I am deeply inspired and honored by the praise, appreciation, encouragement and congratulations from all of you. With endless gratitude to the Almighty God and sincere appreciation to you for your confidence in me, demonstrated by entrusting me with the onerous but honorable and noble task of taking the lead in strengthening our organization for the next four years and lifting it to a higher level, I humbly accept the choice of NAB members electing me as Chairman of our dear Association.
As I have enumerated in my manifesto, I wish to make “OgunNab”, a Chapter that all other Chapters in Nigeria would emulate. I want to reiterate, that my four years as the former secretary of this Association gave me ample opportunity to fully understand the dynamics and workings of the system. Therefore, I consider my election as a call to duty; a call I am prepared and willing to undertake. As I accept the call to serve, I think of the founders of this Association and I challenge us to work together with the same determination and with the guidance of our motto to take our dear Association forward and to realize the potential of each members.
There is no that the electoral process has proven that “OgunNAB” has truly grown in stature and maturity and is firmly in the hands of the members. The formidable team that you have elected has a fundamental job at hand and I am confident that we shall not let you down.
My acceptance Speech would be incomplete if I fail to appreciate the outgoing Executive Members under the Leadership of Dr. Micheal Ebonhor for the splendid job that it accomplished during the last four years
Lastly, I welcome the new Executive Members to this challenging responsibility that OgunNAB has bestowed on us. I assure the members of OgunNAB that we are equal to the task and as a team we shall deliver.
Once again thank you for the confidence reposed in me and my co-executive members to serve our dear Association for the next four years.
In all, I will continue to advocate for progress, peace and transparency. I remain my humble self, Rotarian Joseph Oluwasesan Bulugbe (Esq.).
God bless us, God bless NAB, God bless Ogun State and God bless Nigeria.
