Kwara State Association of Nigeria, North America (KSANG.ORG)

Fellow Kwarans,

    It is a great joy for me to unveil and introduce the general public to this new and most elaborate, highly secured website of the association. It is a big stride in the right direction and it has materialized at a time when it would be needed most.  We are indeed back on the Internet, big, bold and much better than before. We now have a strong and reliable tool at our disposal which must be used to lift the status of the association into new era of cohesion and development.  I congratulate all of you for your efforts and funding regarding this project. My special thanks to all the website committee members who have participated in all the work that went into this beautiful production. Our special gratitude to the past web master/coordinators, Mr. Demola Owolabi and Mr. Samuel Fadipe for the wonderful job they have done over the years. More so, we have realized that Mr. Gani Adebayo has gone beyond call of the duty by taking up the new challenge that has led him to come up with this remarkable design and innovation. We want to register our deep appreciation for all his time and resources in bringing this project to fruition.

    Armed with this deep sense of appreciation and gratitude, I wish to seize this opportunity to commend the hard work of my three predecessors who have had the opportunity to lead this organization over past years.  I was very much aware and could affirm the successes and various challenges that each and every one of them had to deal with during their tenure of office. Therefore, on behalf of Kwarans worldwide, I congratulate and thank them for their sacrifices in ensuring the well being of the association in particular,  as well as taking cognizance of the expected interactive roll of all Kwarans in the Diaspora.

    When we came into office less than six months ago, we inherited an array of difficulties and pressing challenges. The organization was then barely surviving. All the different chapters were facing appreciable difficulties within their local chapters while the national body lacked the cohesiveness and the level seriousiness that could make an organization like ours sound and viable.

    Ladies and gentlemen, I am glad to arrest all your fears, and to let you know that you have elected new executive members that have taken the job and responsibility of this great association on as a real job. We do realize that our challenges are elaborate however, our determination to move this organization forward is as strong as it gets. Our goals and objectives for this current term are many, but we intend to attend to as many of them as we can with all God given power that we have.

    The national executive has started to work hard in addressing our main concern which is to breathe new life into all our six chapters. We have reorganized and re-strengthened the NAC – The national Advisory Board to include the two former national presidents, past and present prominent leaders and all the current chapter presidents. This has enabled us to encourage them to meet more frequently, to exchange ideas and find common solutions to their related problems. It has also given the NEC – The National Executive Council the opportunity to pass important information through them to their respective chapters. We thank all of them for their dedication and love for Kwara in accepting this responsibility and for their active participation on the board most recently. Their efforts are yielding very positive results.

    The different committees that we have put together to help in achieving our goals are performing at an encouraging level. They are the Constitution committee, the Database committee, the Conference committee, the PTT – Professional Technical Team, Finance committee, the Web and Business Development Committee and last, but certainly not the least the KVC – KSANG VILLAGE committee. More details on these committees would be shared on this website on regular basis as they become available – stay tuned.

    The Kwara Village project has become the most prominent agenda that each succeeding president of this association has been playing major part in. Alhaji Yayah's administration was successful in acquiring the land, while Dr. Odetunde's regime successfully got the necessary legal papers for the land, i. e. the R of O and the C of O.

However, due to some major preliminary process that ensued at the early part of the project development, the project has been subjected to some unintended delay.

    However, we thank God and grateful to our fellow members who have now taken the project very seriously. There are many people across the board that are working day and night and really dedicated to the success of this project. Their hard work and unmatched passion for the project are yielding remarkable success. We are deeply grateful to all of them and their families.

    In the final analysis, we want to use this medium to welcome all our members back to the fold and to use this same forum to generate and encourage new members to come aboard. KSANG has a new leadership, our website has a new face therefore, we all must embrace one another in order to make our state and our people the best we can be. Please, fellow Kwarans come and join the progress and forward moving team. We need all of you and more importantly, we welcome your ideas. Without the active participation of all of our chapters, our success would be have been marginalized. I thank each and everyone of you for your support and prayers.

May God bless Kwara State, may God bless the Federal republic of Nigeria and may God bless the United States of America.

With warm regards,

Mr. Lateef A. Amolegbe,
National President

President, all the, to all, this project, you for, for your

Office of the President
