FORMAL DECLARATION FOR BAA NATIONAL VICE PRESIDENT.
Lagos-Nigeria
June 12th. 2023.
Lagos-Nigeria
June 12th. 2023.
Living Ancestors,
Elders,
Seniors,
Great BAA!
It is with great joy and privilege for me that I have this opportunity to present myself to you today and to indicate my interest to run for the office of the National Vice President of Bristow Alumni; our great Association.
BAA is an integral part of my being and for over Twenty Nine (29) years I have not only been a committed member but I have given my time and resources both intellectual and financial to the growth and development of our great Alumni.
In the course of this journey I have been privileged to have served in the following capacities at the class, campus, branch and National levels;
The Class of 1993:
1 -The Chairman
Throughout my time of service I contributed in:
1. Searching out and bringing members of the class of 1993 together and facilitating the first meeting of the class in 1994 etc.
2. My tenure of Chairmanship experienced great membership mobilization & support to the school with donations of 11 ceiling fans in 2008 which have served its purpose having functioned in Miss Vandenbergs' Hall for over a decade and also donated textbooks to the library during the tenure of TYOOR Nder Kuhwa as the Principal.
2- I also served as Vice Chairman. Among other feats, we started the scholarship award to 5 students in Bristow and they have all graduated.
We also had our 20th graduation anniversary in 2013 where I was appointed the Chairman planning committee and still hold the same position for the planning of our 30th anniversary celebration this year.
3 -Secretary
4 -PRO
University of Agriculture Makurdi Chapter:
I served in the following capacity:
1 - Secretary: 1995-1996: As Secretary to our President Mrs Grace (Née Akpe), we had the first ever BAA campus association launching and received great financial support from Elders like Moughsha, Late Dr Terlumun Avav, Chief Engr Bajah, Elder Ikyaator, Elder Ngusha Agom-Tor etc.
2 - President: 1996-1997. Used this time to strengthen BAA BSU campus amongst others.
BAA Abuja Branch
I served as the PRO between 2014 and 2017 where I was instrumental to the improvement in publicity of the branch activities leading to increase in membership under the leadership of Mummy Priscilla M. Ikparen as Branch President.
BAA National: 2017-2019.
I served as the PRO and contributed in bringing all sets and branch PROs under the same platform for ease and instant information dissemination.
Additionally, I have attended more than 10 conventions where I was instrumental in mobilizations, paid all Conventions dues, made contributions both financial and suggestions throughout all activities of the convention.
Projects in BAA:
1 -Having observed the lack of proper documentation, publicity and coverage of our past Conventions, to keep members who could not attend the convention abreast of live happenings, reconnect the entire BAA family with renewed vigour and ensure we keep the institutional memory of convention; i pioneered the BAAA Media whose first inaugural meeting was held on 27th December 2016 @ Calypso lounge. The focus of this media outfit was to generate interest, create awareness and enhance mobilization towards attendance @ the 2017 National convention.
BAA Media commenced full activities in January 2017 and gave full publicity for the convention, interviewing over 100 distinguished Alumnus like Sen. Chief BAI Gemade, Engr Peter Abwa (BAA0001), Prof Nancy Agbe, Dr. E. Gemade, Chief Terna Abbo, Rev Dr. Mkena, etc and shared short clips of those videos.
The impact of BAA media alone resulted in the attendance of 800 Delegates in that years’ convention.
2 -I have also contributed to scholarships that were awarded to some students at the 1993 class level and also in the Lagos branch.
3- As the Founder and Chairman of The Akaade Kucha Foundation, we instituted a scholarship scheme at Bristow Secondary school which commenced in 2021.
Having served through the ranks where I have a clear understanding of the workings of the association based on a SWOT analysis ; it's Strengths, Weaknesses Opportunities and Threats, I am well positioned with a BAA agenda to support the President to drive the needed change and further development of our revered alumni association.
My motivation to offer myself for service to this prestigious Alumni Association is based on the following;
(A) Commitment: Since I graduated from Bristow I have been steadfast in my involvement in all things Bristow and her alumni. This is evident in my service for the past 29 years.
(B) Competence: Having served at all levels of the association my competence is without a doubt.
(C) Creativity: As the pioneer of BAA Media, it is also a testament to my creativity and capacity to drive change.
I am a graduate of Electrical and Electronic Engineering from The University of Agriculture Makurdi with over 19 years experience as an internationally trained Transmission Subject Matter Expert (SME) in the telecommunications sector having worked with:
Currently am the Senior Manager; Fibre Network Design and Rollout at IHS Towers Nigeria.
I therefore, call upon each of us to support this great aspiration so that together we can make BAA better.
Thank you,
Teryima Emmanuel Akaade.

*APPRECIATION*
Lagos - Nigeria.
7th July, 2023.
Distinguished Bristow Alumni Association,
Great BAA!
It is indeed a dawning of a new day in our dear Alumni.
We stand here today as a city that is set on a hill that can never be hidden as evidence of the sacrifice and the vision of the founders of William Muckle Bristow.
This institution has not only given birth to outstanding and respected individuals but continues to produce torchbearers who shine their light in various fields of human endeavors.
I am proud! Yes very proud, grateful and humbled by your commitment and support that led to my election as the BAA National Vice President (NVP).
Reflecting on the years when I & a few others dedicated our efforts and little resources to bring together our fellow classmates immediately after our graduation in July 1993; my passion for unity, support, and the camaraderie we once shared as Bristow students grew stronger.
This passion fuelled my enduring commitment to BAA as an institution where I have over the past 30 years featured in several efforts for a reformation of our great alma Mata.
As a family, we are not immune to disagreements and occasional strained interactions that deviate from our core values and principles. However, it is crucial to remember that we must build bridges rather than burn them, for we often find ourselves in need of each other's support and guidance in the larger society.
In this regard, I am reminded of a line from scriptures which says follow peace with all Men and oh how good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in UNITY.....
I would like to express my special appreciation to my immediate elder brother Jacob Akaade and my elder Sister Grace who are all BAA, for their ENCOURAGEMENT & support; Furthermore, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to my classmates led by the class Coordinator, my team who travelled across the states and cities and all who worked tirelessly and supported me in offering their prayers, advice, counsel, dedicating their time, resources, and presence to transform a vision into reality.
My appreciation also to the electoral committee for conducting a transparent election that allowed all accredited BAA members to exercise their voting rights.
My election as Vice President of the Bristow Alumni Association is not solely my achievement but a victory for all of us. It isn't a personal but a collective mandate of all forward thinking and progressive minds.
This is essentially a call into stewardship for Bristow Alumni Association, and I pray God continues to equip me with all the tools to function optimally, effectively and successfully for the progress of this great association.
I pledge to carryout my responsibilities as enshrined in the BAA constitution 2022 (as amended) with the utmost dedication and in the best interests of BAA, through God's guidance and his continued grace.
I commit to administer my role in the best interest of BAA.
Finally, I would like to call for our collective support for our esteemed National President (NP) Dr. Msugh Gbila whom I have so much regard for and have pledged my full loyalty not just as my leader but as my elder and the entire team to make BAA and her members the envy of all knowing that we have much more to gain as a unified group.
Thank you.
