Lagos State Barbers, Hairdressers and Cosmetologists Association, LABHCA on Thursday, 28th January, 2016
inaugurated their 6th Executives at Orisunmbare Hi -tech field, Idimu, Lagos
State in an event well attended by all members of the association, family,
friends, invited guests and their Board of Trustees.
The Association lived up to its expectation as beautiful and
elegant women from all parts of Lagos whose business it is to make people look
beautiful, attended the colourful inauguration ceremony.
Comrade Olanrewaju Atanda, the former president of the association
while delivering his speech gave gratitude to Almighty God for the success
recorded during his administration. He thanked his executives and members of
LAHBCA for their unflinching support and cooperation in the 8 years of his administration.
He further encouraged the new administration to consolidate on the legacy he
left behind by working in one accord to achieve better results than he did.
The legal adviser of the association, Barrister Ademola Ijaoba presided
over the oath taking of the new executives. The newly sworn in executives are Comrade
Yetunde Ijaoba as President, Comrade Yomi Olowookere as Vice president and Comrade
Folashade Sadiq as General Secretary. Others are Princess Abimbola Isiba as
Deputy Secretary, Comrade Idowu Christiana Ogbere as Treasurer, Comrade Ishiak
Adebayo as Male P.R.O and Mr Ola Oladipupo as Organizing secretary. They were
issued their certificates of office by the past president, Comrade Olanrewaju
Atanda immediately after the swearing in.
Comrade Yetunde Ijaoba Oladipupo, in her address after taking oath
of office noted the last time such ceremony took place in the association was 8
years ago when the baton of leadership changed.
While noting that Transition periods are usually trying times for
most associations, she thanked Almighty God who made theirs come easy.
The president thanked the association for electing her as their
new president and summarized her plans for the association in a 4 point agenda
which are: To speed up the development of the association’s permanent site,
enhancing the professional skills of members, to foster mutual understanding
and the development of area meeting co-ordination and to provide a robust
dividend policy for all members through government support.
To show that she is ready to pilot the affairs of the association
in her own way, the president sprung to action by dissolving the Office of
State Advisers, the office of school Board (LICOHM) and the Area meeting of the
association, a move applauded by many members of the association. At least, it
would afford her the opportunity of appointing people of her own who share the
same ideas and vision as hers. She however promised a well structured and more
composed Regional Area Meetings and Boards will be set up immediately.
While promising to put the welfare of her members first to enjoy
their continued support, the new president promised an open door policy devoid
of hate and malice to foster unity among members of the association.
In her closing remarks, she thanked the past president, Comrade
Atanda and the electoral body for their tireless efforts to make the transition
programme a reality, she also thanked the Board of Trustees who have used their
wisdom and wealth of experience to steer forward, the ship of the association
from inception till date.
Comrade Oladipupo whose slogan is Itesiwaju LABHCA lo Je wa logun, thanked everybody and wished them
a successful journey back to their destinations.
Notable dignitaries at the event include Alhaji Nurudeen Buhari, Vice
President, Lagos State Council of Tradesmen and Artisans, LASCOTA, Mr. Tajudeen
Muyibi, General Secretary, LASCOSTA, Alhaja Hurrienta Kosoko, a renowned actress,
members of LABHCA Board of Trustees, members of Electoral Board, Baale of Orisunmbare
