He, however, expressed optimism about the opportunities for growth and improvement. Mr. Gbenga pledged to lead the association with transparency, integrity, and a firm commitment to addressing the concerns of its members.
“I am aware of the challenges that confront us—our water issues, delays in promotions, inadequate teaching and learning materials, and the need for continuous professional development. But I also see a great opportunity. Together, we can act on it to be stronger, speak louder, and act boldly. As chairman, my doors will remain open. I will lead with transparency, with integrity, and most importantly, with you in mind. Your concerns will be my concerns.”
He emphasized the importance of unity, calling on members to rally together with one voice, regardless of their backgrounds.
