The Times Journalism Alumni Association (TJAA)has elected a seven-man new executive committee to be led by Mr. Clifford Agugoesi, the Editor-in-Chief of Cyber Era Magazine.

Agugoesi takes over from the erstwhile chairman, Mr. Remmy Nweke, who assumed his latest position as chair, Board of Trustees of TJAA, after an election conducted recently. The TJAA new chairman was elected alongside Mr. Adelaja  Bisi as Vice Chairman; Mr. Adeniran Odufayo, General Secretary; Mr. Abraham Akpabio as Assistant-General Secretary; Mrs. Itunu Olamiotan Ola as Treasurer, Chief Mrs. Folashade Azeez, Welfare Officer, and Mr. Emmanuel Udodinma as the Public Relations Officer (PRO).

In his acceptance speech, after the online voting exercise, that potentially lends itself to be copied by the national electoral umpire, the new chairman, Mr. Agugoesi expressed thanks to all those who made their emergence possible, especially the Electoral Committee, headed by Mr. Fabian Anawo of the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria(FRCN) and his predecessor, Mr. Nweke. He also called on all past students of Times Journalism Institute Lagos to identify with the association and support programmes targeted at moving TJAA forward through active participation.

Said he: “Great TJItes, thank you all for voting us to serve you.  We will do just that, God helping us.  We thank God Almighty for sustaining us and express our gratitude to Remmy Nweke and all who have worked exceedingly hard to bring us to where we  currently are.  Ours is going to be a Government of Continuity & Innovation. We promise to continue with some good foundations already led by our predecessors, but will not hesitate to effect changes when and where necessary to our structure, processes and procedures.

“Welfare of our members will be a key pillar of our dispensation.  We will serve you truthfully and energetically and will be accountable.  Our comprehensive agenda have been properly articulated and will be circulated in due course.  We heartily solicit your cooperation and understanding as we individually and collectively strive to taking our alumni association to higher pedestals.”

The newly elected officers will pilot the affairs of the association for the next three years and have since taken over the administration of Times Journalism Alumni Association, at a brief ceremony in Lagos, recently. TJAA, a registered organization, promises to extend valuable programmes  and activities to promote connections between all alumni for their benefits.
