Interviewer: Good evening, I'm Eniola, a pressman from the FATSSSA press organization. Can you introduce yourself, please?

 

Mr. Bolu Animashaun: Hello Eniola, good evening. I'm Boluwatife Animashaun, a 100 level student of Sociology.

 

Interviewer: First, we would like to know the reason behind your interest in the post of the Assistant General Secretary (AGS).

 

Mr. Bolu Animashaun: Okay. So basically, my reason for going for the post of the faculty AGS is born from sheer will to serve. Serve the faculty, its people, and the association.

 

Interviewer: Can you describe your experience in managing and coordinating administrative tasks at a senior level? How would you apply those skills to support the General Secretary in their role?

 

Mr. Bolu Animashaun: Over the years, I've been involved in a number of leadership roles both at senior and junior levels, and currently, I serve as the Technical Coordinator 2 of my fellowship. Through these experiences, I have learned the core principles of teamwork, time management, and building strong relationships with colleagues. I would be delighted to apply these skills to support the General Secretary in elevating the faculty association to new heights of success.

 

Interviewer: As the Assistant General Secretary, you may be responsible for developing and implementing organizational policies and procedures. How would you approach this task, ensuring alignment with the organization's mission and values while promoting efficiency and compliance?

 

Mr. Bolu Animashaun: In ensuring this as the AGS, I'll work closely with other central executives of the administration such as the president, vice president, and general secretary. Additionally, I will abide by the rules outlined in the constitution to ensure that the policies and procedures developed align with the organization's mission and values, while also promoting efficiency and compliance.

 

Interviewer: The role of Assistant General Secretary may involve working closely with the General Secretary to support decision-making processes. Can you share an experience where you provided valuable input or advice that influenced a significant decision within an organization?

 

Mr. Bolu Animashaun: As the Assistant Technical Coordinator in my fellowship, I currently serve in a similar capacity. While primarily handling the technical aspects of the department to ensure flawless production during services, I recently took on additional administrative responsibilities within the department. By collaborating with the team, offering valuable input, and providing advice, we were able to make significant decisions that positively impacted our organization.

 

Interviewer: How do you feel about having an opponent in this election? Do you feel threatened or scared? What are your emotions?

 

Mr. Bolu Animashaun: No, I do not feel threatened or scared. I stand strong in good faith. Having opponents is a sign of a thriving society, and I believe in healthy competition. If there are any rumors suggesting otherwise, I kindly request that they be disregarded.

 

Interviewer: Okay, Mr. Bola. Do you think you have a better chance against your opponent? If so, why?

 

Mr. Bolu Animashaun: Yes, I believe I have a better chance. Firstly, I have actively served the faculty by participating in initiatives such as the Operation Keep FATSSSA CLEAN sanitation exercise, and I am also a member of the faculty's Learning and Development society. Furthermore, I have served in various capacities over the years, which has allowed me to develop competence and expertise. Additionally, as a creative writer, I bring genuine creativity, skill, and drive to the table. Lastly, I prioritize the inclusion of all students of FATSSSA and maintain good relationships with fellow FATSSSAites across departments and levels. With the people's support, I dare to say that I stand a better chance against my opponent.

 

Interviewer: Do you think your opponent lacks these skills and experiences you've mentioned?

 

Mr. Bolu Animashaun: I don't know. I'm only speaking for myself.

 

Interviewer: You mentioned that "with the people's support..." Do you think compared to your opponent, you have the people's support?

 

Mr. Bolu Animashaun: This is politics. Everybody will definitely have their supporters. Again, I'm speaking from my side and for myself. So yes.

 

Interviewer: I believe that's a yes. Would you like to mention a few outstanding plans you have for FATSSSITES if elected?

 

Mr. Bolu Animashaun: Can we push this till the Manifesto night? Or okay, let me mention one. I have plans of making a collaboration with certain leading social impact organizations in the country. Further details will be relayed at the manifesto night.

 

Interviewer: Lastly, the Assistant General Secretary must demonstrate strong ethical standards and integrity. Can you share an experience where you faced an ethical dilemma and how you navigated through it while maintaining your professional principles?

 

Mr. Bolu Animashaun: One time I faced an ethical dilemma as a leader was during my tenure as the president of the teens arm of my church. It was a challenging period of getting many of them to take up a certain responsibility. However, upon consultation with past leaders, proper communication, and team spirit, we were able to achieve the best. The

At University of Ibadan’s Theatre Arts department, the theatre and its stagecraft-art are seen as a profession, and more than that, a heritage. So in casting decisions, the casting of a non-thespian in a major role is about as rare as a honest politician. Yet, this year’s ambitious theatrical performance by JJ Classics Production of SANKARA has done just that. A sociology sophomore by academic discipline, the spotlight has fallen on Osaremeh Ijebor as a frontline actor playing the requisite role of Mariam Sankara, wife of the revolutionary leader of Burkina Faso. Of the 13 actors that make up the mainstage and student show cast, Ijebor is the only non-thespian. As a cast in the student show, she will be shadowing main...
