BEYOND THE BASICS.
Abigail Amoah affirms her intent to run for the office of CoHSS GENERAL SECRETARY
Hello, my name is ABIGAIL AMOAH, I come your way this moment with warm greeting and love. I am your colleague sister and a friend in service, from the department of History and Political Studies, under the College of Humanities and Social Sciences (CoHSS).
I bring you GOOD NEWS,good people of CoHSS. I would like to officially affirm to you my thought through intention of running for the OFFICE OF CoHSS GENERAL SECRETARY for the 2020/2021 academic year. In this great move, I call on all to share in my vision and support me as I seek to contribute my quota of service to the good people of CoHSS.
Having served my department as the Deputy Women’s Commissioner and a Deputy Clerk of the Political Studies Students’ Association Parliament (POSSA-Parliament), I avail myself to serve you as CoHSS General Secretary.
I have observed that, the mandate of a General Secretary has been hovering around just the constitutional mandate of keeping record of minutes and giving out information alone. I believe the idea of the work of a Secretary being just about information dissemination* is primitive and we should move beyond that.
Moving forward, the work of a general secretary should be questioned along the tangent of what the person is bringing to the table to impact the lives of our people apart from just making information easy; that’s our BASIC responsibility and we should move our scope BEYOND THE BASICS.
I believe that, we should, even though Secretaries, think beyond just the basic responsibilities of writing minutes and giving out information to the people and do something extra, with well planned and feasible strategies.
In this light, I call on you all to rally your support behind me as I go on this journey of pursuing victory for us all. A victory with which we shall all add more value to ourselves and progress with good leadership. I am just a single entity, poised and motivated to make history, I can’t do it alone. With you involved, we shall make and leave a good legacy here in KNUST.
I call on you for your massive love, support and prayers as I journey to the land of victory. Come along…
ABIGAIL AMOAH,
CoHSS GENERAL SECRETARY ASPIRANT, ‘2020.*
BEYOND THE BASICS…
