In her acceptance speech, the newly elected chairperson appreciated all that made the occasion
possible, while assuring all members, including her opponent’s camp, that she would run an all-inclusive
administration.
She also seized the opportunity to reiterate her 7-point agenda for the progress of the association. The
agenda, according to her, include: Facilitating dynamic mentoring of young ALPians; creating an
interactive and mutual support forum for retired ALPians; enhancing greater visibility for ALPs in the
state; organising regular professional capacity-building for all members; creating greater political
awareness among ALPians; facilitating more networking with women professionals; collaborating with
NGOs, civil society organisations and government agencies on health promotion programmes for women
and children.
