Greetings
Kings and Queens,
HAPPY
NEW YEAR….. WE PRAY THAT THIS YEAR, THE MERCIES AND FAVOURS OF GOD WILL REST
UPON US ALL AND NEVER LEAVE US. WE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR GOD’S PROTECTION AND A
BLESSED 600LEVEL AHEAD.
We
thank God for the favour and blessings of last year and we thank him for the
grace to see the New Year 2015.
We
also thank all classmates for the turnout at the events and co-operation so
far. We bless the name of the Lord for the progress we make as a class; He has
brought us through all the years to 600 level.
Towards
the end of last year, we called for a congress to introduce the class logo, the
class dues and the class patrons. We want to thank all those who came out and
encourage more to turn out for such when the time arises. We also said it will
be our last congress as a class. That’s why you are reading this on the class
blog.
The
most notable highlight to pick out from the congress was the non-acceptance and
disavowal of the proposed class dues which was #30,000.
Classmates
declared that the proposed dues were too costly for a year long list of
activities. When asked what should be done about it, a number of people said it
should be reduced to #25,000, some said #20,000, and others said #15,000.
Since
then, the executives have gone back to re-strategize and today; we present 2 new proposals for class dues before
you. In slashing the original 30,000 dues, we carefully considered rumours
running around about our resumption in March, ending our postings in December
this year and writing our professional exam in January. Like I said it’s a rumour
which we will confirm as time goes by this month. If it is true, all classmates
will need to be on their toes as it will be a short YBC year for us.
When
the original #30,000 class due was slashed, we arrived at 22,000.
And
here, we also have a budget for 20,000.
The 22,000 proposed class dues
Morning jogging session – no
cost
Sports tournament – not
costed
Variety night – not costed
Year book - #5,000
Academic symposium - #1000
Social outing - #4000
YBC wear (1) - #3,000
Traditional night - #2,000
Dinner - #7,000
TOTAL – 22,000
The 20,000
proposed class dues
Morning jogging session – no
cost
Sports tournament – not
costed
Variety night – not costed
Year book - #5,000
Academic symposium - #1000
Social outing - #4000
YBC wear (1) - #3,000
Dinner - #7,000
TOTAL - #20,000
It is important to note that the traditional night,
was left out of the 20,000 proposal.
The bad news is that time flies. The good news is that
we are the pilots. We’ve taken time to deliberate and the time for action has
come. We want to pilot this short time and make it useful right now.
That is why today, January 9th, 2015 ; we
have put this out to everyone to look at it, and vote for the class dues.
Either 20,000 or 22, 000, you can vote and you can also use the comment boxes
under this post to air your views. Note that the budget will be available on
this blog before we send out proposals and it will be available once we agree
and vote on a fixed class dues. We will be leaving the votes to run for a week
before we take the next step in the line of action.
Enjoy the holidays.
We wish our dental students the best as they write
incourses and prepare for their exams. May God be with them, Amen.

ReplyDeleteThanks guys... Sandra, Gkk, Mayowa and Balikis... Y'all are wonderful...
ReplyDelete@gkk, no cost means the cost of the event is very low that we cannot be charged for it, not costed means the event is coming at a cost to organise, but the cost hasn't been added to the class dues I.e we are not being charged for them too.
ReplyDelete@balikis,suggestion noted. Let's see others views..
