REPORT

BY

OLUWATOYIN ATANDA

IN THE BEGINNING

In the past nine months, we were able to meet majority of our financial obligations, most especially to our venue hosts and to the National body, we had general assemblies with quality trainings and buddy time. As I present my report with a lot of pictures speaking, I am certain you will also agree with me that we had a great year but WE CAN BE BETTER.

Despite the challenges which the nation as a whole faced, we had successful deliberations as we charted the course for the year. We had a successful general assembly and a Facebook page was also created to help disseminate information and publicize the chapter.
