The new president of the Federal University of Technology Akure (FUTA) Alumni Association, Mr Adeyemi Bello, has called for a sustained improvement in the support of members for the growth and development of their alma mater.
He gave the advice during the inauguration of the new Executive Council of the Association on Thursday, December 9, 2021, in Akure.
Adeyemi said the FUTA alumni worldwide would not relent in their support to the university in providing basic needs and infrastructure either through individuals, groups, graduating class of any set or chapters in the Diaspora.
He urged the university’s management to intimate alumni with its areas of need so that the alumni body could contribute their quota to enhancing the learning environment and the image of the university.
Adeyemi said as the 10th president of the FUTA Alumni Association Worldwide, he and his team would work closely with the university management and the Advancement Centre in getting names and details of all graduates and create a robust website where everyone can relate and exchange information in order to provide a veritable platform to give back to the institution.
He said this would provide the needed strength to support the university in the areas of infrastructure, research and technology enhancement.
Adeyemi said the Alumni Trust Fund, which was set up to be a bridge or catalyst for the growth of the university, would be revitalized in order for it to be more responsive to the needs of the university.
In his remarks at the ceremony, the vice-chancellor, Professor Joseph Fuwape, said, “We’ve enjoyed a fruitful relationship with the alumni and you have been passionate about the development of the university.
“The past executives worked hard to improve the university through significant contributions to the development of infrastructure and human resources. It is my belief that the incoming executives will achieve greater feats for the university.
“We will continue to partner with the alumni to take the university to greater heights.”
The immediate past president, Comrade Olaitan Adesomoju, appreciated the university management for always supporting the alumni.
He attributed the success of his administration to the support and commitment of the alumni body. He said it was a privilege to serve such a prestigious body.
Adesomoju urged the incoming president and his team to improve on existing legacies and to keep the flag of excellence flying.
He also urged the university to extend a hand of fellowship to the executives for the development of the university.”
