He also assured an all-inclusive type of leadership, while calling on all members to support and cooperate with the new Excos to move the Chapel to greater heights.
The new chairman also appealed for constructive criticisms and advice from the members, rather than being confrontational on issues within and outside the chapel, while appreciating the state council Exco for their solidarity and support to the Chapel.
He said his doors are always “open to meaningful suggestions and contributions towards improving the welfare of the chapel members and ensure discipline and decorum among members in the discharge of our duties alongside mobilization for members training in the job and workshops sponsorships by both government and NGOs.”
Ndahi further explained that without the support and overall understanding and cooperation of the members of the Chapel, he can not alone steer the affairs of the chapel successfully for the collective interest of all and sundry, particularly, welfarism and editorial productivity of each member of the chapel.
He also prayed God Almighty to protect and guide the new leadership in steering the affairs of the chapel in the next three years in the overall interest of all and sundry without any discrimination.
