Mr. Chairman, Distinguished Guests, Members of Staff, Fellow Students,
Ladies and Gentlemen, indeed it is a great honour to see such
distinguished personalities who have defied the unending traffic jam,
others their academic work, to be here with us. We are very much
grateful and pleased to you for giving such a red letter day for us.
Newly-elected Senior Prefect David Nimo
Mr. Chairman, today marks the end of a leadership journey and the
genesis of another, we have every cause to thank the Almighty God and
celebrate this rare occasion and do so with great joy.
Friends, we as fresh limbs in the helm of affairs begin this tenure of
office with a clear conscience to achieve and gain what has remained
dreams of others and as Dr. Martin Luther King Jnr., the famous leader
of American Blacks' struggle for civil rights rightly said, "I have a
dream", we in turn have a dream and not only that, but also to make it
come true. We hope to sustain our plans and obligations and not to
create a sensation for a time which will soon be forgotten.
The best in our tenure, Mr. Chairman, will be done to make impacts in
academics, sports, and most of all, discipline. Justice will be the
order of the day. Nelson Mandela, the former president of South
Africa, said, "I have fought against white and black denominations. I
have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society. It is an
ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve." Thus, the
administration of fair justice will be done to all and sundry.
Friends, as the dictum goes, "In unity lies strength", we acknowledge
the fact that we need the collaborative effort of all stakeholders;
the administration, members of staff and students for us to make the
necessary impact. We ask that you guarantee us your support. For we
know, the brain being the powerhouse of the body, is certainly useless
without the other parts of the body. We know and believe that our
administration, members of staff and students will pledge us their
collective support to help us achieve our goals and realise our
vision.
Mr. Chariman, our motivational and inspirational visions will be the
mastermind behind our endeavours. We believe that once a person claims
to be satisfied, complacency sets in resulting in mediocrity.
Therefore, ours is to aim above the skies and with God being our
strength, we will surely achieve these great aims.
Friends, may you please aid me to say Ayekoo, Tres bien, and Well done
to our outgoing batch of prefects for their hard-earned results. May
each of them prosper in any field they find themselves.
On this note, Mr. Chairman, Distinguished Guests, Parents, Members of
Staff, Fellow Students, Ladies and Gentlemen, "Dexterity and
enthusiasm in work performance will be our ally". Thank you in advance
for the support you are pledging us and may God be our helper.
