BASSOSA 1993 set elects Onajobi as class governor

The 1993 set of Baptist Secondary School Old Students Association (BASSOSA) has elected Mr Wemimo Onajobi, the CEO- Westmone Integrated Service Limited, as the new class governor.

With his new position, Onajobi is mandated not only to lead the 1993 set, manage their affairs, and contribute towards the mainstream old students association but the development of the citadel at large.

This was one of the highlights of the 45th year of BASSOSA’s Founders Day anniversary programme, which took place recently at Baptist Secondary School, Oke-Ado, Ibadan.

The transition in leadership marked a significant moment for the 1993 set, as members looked up to Onajobi to bring renewed energy and strategic direction to their fold.

As echoed by Mr Ololade Omolola, the immediate past class governor, Onajobi’s leadership comes at a critical time when the role demands not just representation, but proactive contribution to the broader goals of BASSOSA.

He described him as a capable and charismatic leader who could move the class forward and strengthen its role within BASSOSA.

“Onajobi is a very versatile person and he has a lot to offer the association as he occupies the position of the class governor.

He possesses the influence, knowledge, charisma and the right character to take this association to the next level,” he said.

In his acceptance speech, Onajobi thanked his classmates for the trust they placed in him.

He acknowledged their support and described it as a source of strength and motivation.

He also promised to give his best while in office, working together with everyone to move the class and the association forward.

“I pledge to serve with integrity, openness and humility. I do not claim to have all the answers, but I promise to listen, to lead with heart, and to always put the interest of the association first,” Onajobi expressed.

In the midst of celebration, the National President of BASSOSA, Mr Akinola Olutola, expressed his gratitude towards the members, and  implored that they must functionally invest in the renewal of the school and must continue to strive for excellence, innovation and meaningful impact.

He said: “While we celebrate, we must also confront reality. Our school’s infrastructure is aging. Buildings are deteriorating, perimeter fencing is weak, lighting is poor and general facilities are no longer adequate for today’s educational needs.

“Though, efforts have been made by committed old students to refurbish parts of the school and appeals have been made to the government for support, responses remain limited.”
