INTERVIEW WITH THE ASPIRANT FOR THE OFFICE OF THE GENERAL SECRETARY

 ADEDOKUN OLUWAFISAYO

“I just think that I know the basics and enough to deliver the mandate for the office, and I am willing and ready to learn in the process”.

BY MISS IBUKUNOLUWA KEYAMO

 

Election Day is fast approaching and with the number of candidates contesting for different positions, we understand that it may be a little hard to keep track of all of them. In order to help FATSSSAITES make an informed decision when the time comes, we have interviewed all the candidates to get to know them a little better.

 

Here is Miss. Oluwafisayo, vying for the position of General Secretary; in an interview with FATSSSA Press Correspondent, Miss. Ibukun.

 

 

FATSSSA PRESS: Thank you for agreeing to meet with me! Could you please introduce yourself?

 

Miss. Oluwafisayo: My name is Adedokun Oluwafisayo. I am a 200-level student of the Department of Sociology.

 

FATSSSA PRESS: What are your goals, beliefs in life, source of motivation — basically, how would you describe yourself?

 

Miss. Oluwafisayo: I am a delivery-driven person. I am passionate about quite a number of things that all gear towards self-development. I have a penchant for learning and constantly getting better. I also love to relax and have fun when necessary. What motivates me is the kind of future I want for myself, where I stay valuable, both to myself, and to who or where I find myself.

 

FATSSSA PRESS: That’s interesting. Why exactly are you interested in running for this office?

 

Miss. Oluwafisayo: Since my admission into the University of Ibadan, I have intentionally put myself out there; serving in my capacity and learning on the go. As at now, I have gleaned enough knowledge to help me function actively as the General Secretary of this great Association. I, however, do not undermine the experience I will get while working on the job, I just think that I know the basics and enough to deliver the mandate for the office, and I am willing and ready to learn in the process.

 

FATSSSA PRESS: Have you held any other positions, not necessarily in the Association, but in the faculty at large?

 

Miss. Oluwafisayo: I was a member of the Legislative House of the Nigerian Sociological and Anthropological Students Association (NSASA), I served as the erstwhile Deputy Speaker of the same House. I am currently the Treasurer of the Faculty’s Literary and Debating Society.

 

FATSSSA PRESS: As you are the current Treasurer of the Literary and Debating society, why are you not contesting for the same post in FATSSSA?

 

Miss. Oluwafisayo: I didn’t vie to hold that position. It was by appointment and I am running for the post of General Secretary because I believe I will deliver better in that capacity.

 

FATSSSA PRESS: What is one unique thing you will contribute to the office if you emerge the winner? Do you think you are bringing anything new to the table?

 

Miss. Oluwafisayo: While I may not be able to explicitly say all of that now, my plans for our dear association will roll out even as the electioneering process reaches a climax. Yes, I am bringing something new to the table. In fact, I am committed to ensuring ideas that can stand the test of time and outlive the duration of my service. This is the whole idea behind my FOOTPRINT Agenda and the uniqueness to it is that it will be fun, engaging, and equipping for FATSSSITES, myself included.

 

FATSSSA PRESS: What is the central theme of your manifesto?

 

Miss. Oluwafisayo: Results and initiatives that stand the test of time.

 

FATSSSA PRESS: Lastly, how do you feel about the fact that, as yet, you are uncontested for this position?

 

Miss. Oluwafisayo: Whether I am uncontested or not, the goal remains the same. So, being uncontested does not exactly give a particular feeling. Instead, I know I still have to ensure members of FATSSSA buy into my ideas and that they trust me enough to be able to deliver them.

 

FATSSSA PRESS: Okay, thank you very much for your time!

THE FATSSSA WEEK EVENTS THROUGH THE EYES OF A NERDY FATSSSAITE

Image
  By Omolola Odukoya    The Faculty of The Social Sciences had always been known for events which make headlines around campus. However, there had been loud hiccups with the crispy picnic, so many might have been hesitant to show up at the FATSSSA Week events. In preparation for the opening day of the events, the Large Lecture Theatre had been decorated. A large purple banner bearing the name of the faculty, with beautiful splashes of white and orange, was glued to the wall. The week started with an incredible intellectual programme - ‘Dean For  A Day’ and ‘FATSSSAites who inspire us’. I was determined to attend the programme as it was a new trend and I was curious to see how it would turn out. My mouth went agape as I saw FATSSSAites rush to the event. There were six amazing personalities whose citations made my head burst open.  One of the personalities, Mr Shallom made the girls swoon as his melodious baritone tingled through the room. His cheeks turned...
