Mr. Chairman, the SRC Patron, Members
of staff present, the Electoral Commission, the JudicialCouncil, Outgoing Executives
and Prefects, Co-aspirants, Fellow students, all protocol duly observed, Ladies
and Gentlemen.
I am by name Kingsford Oduro Dickson, a second
year student of the St.John of God College of health aspiring for the office of
SRC GENERAL SECRETARY for the 2018/2019 Academic year.
Mr. Chairman I would like to use this
opportunity to say Ayekoo to all the Outgoing Executive and Prefects for their
unprecedented style of leadership in the history of this college.
Mr. Chairman, Ludwig Wittgenstein once said “philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment
of our intelligence
by means of our language”which means a great of task is on our
shoulders to be accomplished but I would want to assure us all that, when I am given the mandate ,we
shall surely deliver beyond expectation and of course it will be proven beyond
reasonable doubt within the first semester of our administration that we are
equally competent to serve and deliver your needs.
I believe in experience
because experience they say ‘is the best
teacher’. A position like this is not an issue of try me and see, but experience
and competence is paramount.
I would want to use
this opportunity to explain briefly what the work of a secretary is
1. The secretary is
purposely for administrative works such as serving letter and receiving letter,
booking people on appointments
2. Call for SRC
meetings, setting the agenda before the members present, checking attendance of
members present before and after meetings and reading minutes of the previous
meeting
But an innovative and
creative secretary works beyond this regard and that is exactly what I would
want to bring on board and of course an all inclusive governance.
Mr. Chairman my
intentions of contesting for this position is of three categories
1. ACADEMICS
2.
STUDENTS WELFARE
3.
DEVELOPMENTAL PROJECTS (INNOVATIONS/CREATIVITY)
Mr. Chairman, on
academics, throughout my 2 years stay in this college there is a problem that I
believe could be fixed simply but keeps bordering some students and their
guardians, that’s on this issue of trail,
in my experience as a teacher and a student I have got to realize that,
students understand better when their colleagues teach them and to this regard
when I am given the mandate , I in collaboration with my executives and prefect
would identify the brilliant students at all levels and motivate them of cash
or kind and task them to assist the less brilliant students to also make it on
the academic ladder and this will, if not stopping the occurrences of trails in
this college, will minimize it significantly. Also as part of our training in
the college we will study a course in final year known to be COMMUNITY PHYSIOTHERAPY and we shall
setup a HEALTH TALK TEAM which will
educate and train institutions, communities and cooperate societies on the
benefits and importance of physiotherapy to their life and health and this will
also be used as a medium to generate money for the SRC by signing MOU (memorandum of understanding) with the various institutions to be
our headline sponsors in our SRC programs and activities and it will at the
same time improve students’ knowledge and confidence in educating and handling
of certain conditions.
We will contact
reliable and trusted ISPs like UCOM and SURFLINE for trusted and strong Wi-Fi to
enable students carryout their research works successfully
Secondly Mr. Chairman,
of course we count on someone who can
count so therefore issue on students
welfare is really at heart, how do you call yourself a leader when you
don’t have your followers’ interest at heart? Mr.Chairman the construction of walk ways connecting D4 to D3 and D3 to
D5 and D5 to D4 is in the pipe line and all these are accomplished by a
visionary and competent leader like no other than KINGSFORD ODURO DICKSON.
Mr. Chairman, forming
cues as at this era just to receive bills and end of semester results from the
administration during vacations to me is toooutmoded, so then when I am given the
mandate , we shall make use of the
college’s website and that is the transformational leadership we want to
provide you with, we are going to change students lives and transform them positively and this
I say “EACH FOR ALL AND ALL FOR EACH” . I don’t just speak the change but I make the change, therefore
fellow colleagues and aspirants negotiations have begun with some dignitaries
to raise fund to establish a brass band
for the college to train students who have the desire of joining any of the
security agencies to have a double advantage thus physio certificate, brass band certificate signed by a top
profile security officer and a driver’slicense
which puts you on a higher advantage to be selected to join any of these
security agencies being itarmy, immigration ,police, fire services among othersand
this will also make money for the SRC when people hire the band. This will
equip the SRC to be self-dependent and would be capable of doing certain things
on their own without depending on the administration for their assistance all
the time.
Plans are also in place
towards the celebration of PHYSIO@10. So
I want to tell you all that for competence, all inclusive, visionary and
transformational leadership count on no one else than a team that contains KINGSFORD ODURO DICKSON.
Lastly Mr.Chairman
other project that we shall seek to continue includes the drivers’ license
policy, among others and other new projects as well and this is to tell you
that there will be continuity
Thank you
