Bola Olanrewaju inquired about the present school fees paid in our Alma Mata and gave the figures as:
Staff children paying – N14,800.00 per term
Non staff paying
- N28,600:00 per term
The scholarship is for students of non-staff. John
Ojuola urged us to find out what the true position of the school is presently
in addition to the report we received from members in Abuja chapter. Bolaji
Fodeke agreed that the school is in poor state and suggested that we liaise
with the school so we can pay the amount of school fees for staff for the
scholarship but John Ojuola in his own view, said we should just go ahead with
what we want to do and not depend on the school for anything. Segun Dapo Daramola
agreed and advised that our bench mark should be on N28,600.00k for the
scholarship payment per student as we have two best students overall in both
JS3 and SS3 to pay for. Bolaji Fodeke also advised the presentation of the
scholarship should not be done on the closing day for vacation as so many
students will not show up in school. Once they are thru with exams they don’t
come to school again. The house should work towards getting a date from the
school by liaising with them, said Adesina Ogunyebi and if it is staff child
that did well, then no scholarship will be given to such that saves our money.
RESPONSE
FROM ABUJA AND ZARIA
There are no
response yet from Abuja and Zaria chapters.
GENERATE
FUNDS
According to Bola Olanrewwaju, other avenues should be
sourced for us to get funds, like when a demosaite is leaving the school,
certain amount of money should be allowed to be paid into DEMOSA purse thus
making him/her a member of the alumni. Segun Dapo Daramola sees it as a good
idea and said the impacts of DEMOSA Alumni need be felt by the School its self
and the Parents Teachers Association (PTA). Once they feel the impact of what the alumni
is doing, we can start by introducing things like the school sticker, printing
of membership cards, and these dues in
the school for graduating students among other things to generate more income.
Dapo, also promised to talk to some organizations to partner with our Alumni in
assisting us with our projects such as scholarship for students, painting of
the school, construction of classroom, organizing seminars, etc as part of
their social responsibility.
At exactly 3.30pm Adesina Ogunyebi moved a motion for adjournment
to enable us visit Mrs Balogun who came visiting in Lagos and was seconded by
John Ojuola.
Next meeting scheduled for 28th of April
2013.
Closing prayer was said by Lateef Suberu.
