"It is a call to service, not for frivolity, and we will not betray your trust"
Yesterday, being the 28th day of August 2024, I emerged as the Senate President of the 14th Assembly, FUTMinna SUG SRA. It is never something I can personally accolade myself for this opportunity; it is a grace granted by Almighty Allah and by you all.
Special appreciation to everyone who has contributed to the struggle to this height, most especially the good people of SEET, for allowing me to represent you in the hallow chamber; your vote counts, and your beliefs will not be betrayed. Thank you for projecting me once again, and I promise you I will not betray your trust in me.
And to the Department of Mechatronics Engineering (DOME), FUTMinna, charity indeed begins at home; I can never appreciate enough the support you have always shown me; I'm your own. From the departmental HOD, the management of the department, the lecturers, the stakeholders' forum, the board of DOME executives, all the Class Reps, 300L coursemates, and every single one in the department, I so much appreciate this gesture, and I'm forever grateful for the grace I'm bestowed with to have you all.
Also, I'd like to appreciate the Engineering Stakeholders Forum at large, even the reputable camaraderie from SIPET, who have contributed in one way or another to ensure the in-house election held yesterday became a success we can celebrate today, thank you for the trust in me, and thank you for staying by me, I'm forever blessed to have you all, and I pray almighty Allah will continue to bless you immensely.
It would be an error if I failed to appreciate the gesture and courtesy of the stakeholders across every faculty in FUTMinna; the landslide victory won yesterday is a testament to all-round acceptance, not a testament to my competency alone, it is the grace and gift of reputable men. Space may not permit me to mention your name one after the other, but your support has brought me to this height, and you will forever remain honored in my heart.
My appreciation would not be well articulated if I failed to reference the impact the 13th Assembly under the distinguished Senate President, Sen. Raji Fahad Muhammad took in this success, especially, in learning the stake and the path of legislation, I appreciate everyone in the 13th Assembly, and I'm looking forward to working together with you, even beyond the scope of this administration, because, the future indeed is bright.
And to the distinguished senators of the 14th Assembly, as I welcome you to the chamber proceedings, I'm equally appreciating you for giving me the honor of becoming your Senate President, thank you for the trust and the belief, be of the assurance that we are together in this, and no one amidst us will be left out.
Appreciation is in order! Thank you all.
With Honor;
Dist. Senator Yaasir A. AMOKUN
The Senate President, 14th Assembly
(Students' Union, FUTMinna, Students' Representative Assembly)
