Kudi Olobayo read the minutes of the last meeting and all necessary corrections were effected on the minutes. John Ojuola moved the motion for adoption and Kudi Olobayo seconded.

Bukky Dada was a bit under the weather, Fisayo Arowosegbe and Orighoye Edukugho sent apology for their absence. Iyang Ema and Joseph Kafewo were been expected but they could not make it , till the meeting ended. Femi Obagboye joined us for the first time so also was Jide Olumeyan, Jumoke Olayemi (Olumeyan)’s brother from Abuja. He was in Lagos visiting.

John Ojuola reminded us of the promise we made regarding organizing a gift for our then Vice Principal Mrs. Alaiyemola during our inaugural meeting when we paid her a visit in Lagos. Segun Daramola agreed with him and said we should find out her birth date and present her with what we have at that period. This was agreed upon by the members’ present.

Since we have a considerable number of members now, we need to start working on our main agenda that is the process of registration of the Alumni and our constitution. As other DEMOSA chapters are depending on Lagos Chapter to draw up guidelines to abide by. Other issues outlined were:

Ø The Alumini Logo

Ø Social responsibilities to our teachers, school and our members

Ø Membership Dues

Ø Welfare of our members such as :

Naming Ceremony, Child Dedication, Birthday, Medical Bills, School Expenses, House Warming,

End of year parties, Seminars /Talk, Burial., etc among other matters.

Segun Daramola explained that he was very much impressed about the activities of Christ School Alumni at a burial he attended of one of the member’s relations. He wants DEMOSA to attain that level and even pass it. Jide Olumeyan, shared with us his own experience too of another Old Students Alumni. He said it was very interesting and worth emulating. He further explained that we need to define the aims and objectives of setting up DEMOSA.

Femi Obagboye added that we need an EXCO in place to draft and tackle issues, so that one day we can look back to our root and be happy that we started it all. He also gave example of Barewa Old Boys Alumni’s achievement in the country today. Each year group or state chapters of their Alumni call meetings and stay in touch with one another to discuss latest development about their school and their welfare. Once any of their members mentions the name of their Alumni and the person in position of assistance is also an old boy, the person’s request is granted without stress. He further made us to understand that it can be very difficult at the beginning, but if we are fully committed, attaining our goals will be made easy. As the pioneers of Demonstration Secondary School, ABU Zaria we should empower ourselves first so that we will attract more members.

Segun Daramola said, because we are not many and only a few members have always been present and constant at meetings. Kudi Olobayo, Bola Olanrewaju, Ninma Apim and John Ojuola. John Ojuola is very active, has links to so many people because he has brought in two people already that is why he’s made the PRO. Segun Daramola went further that, we can look for small projects or presentations to do for places like Old People’s Home, Motherless Babies Home, etc and since he is more into publicity he can get the press to cover such programmes and air it. This is another way of creating awareness and letting people know that DEMOSA is in existence.

Segun Daramola now suggested that members present should, by next meeting draft out what our Constitution should look like so we can deliberate on it and come up with one as it is one of the requirements for registration with Corporate Affairs Commission. He will also find out all that is required including cost from Corporate Affairs Commission.

Since DEMOSA has a group on Facebook and also BB Group, we can share ideas and opinion through this medium as this will assist us to just conclude matters and waste no time at all when we have our meetings. Segun added that anytime there is a post on either BB Group or DEMOSA blog from him or Bola Olanrewaju, members should assist to spread the information to other DEMOSA Members. Femi Obagboye advised that we should care for ourselves. Once we find Old Students we should follow up on such person with calls send reminders of meeting dates. Other existing members too should be informed about the individual concern so that they too can keep in touch with him/her

Femi Obagboye moved for adjournment and John Ojuola seconded. Closing prayers was said by Femi Obagboye. Meeting ended at 5:10
