Dear Active Citizens,

As we begin 2022, meaning that I officially commence my role as your Local President, it is with great humility that I embrace this opportunity to share my welcome message as the 2022 JCI Ibadan Elite President.

Just as I did while delivering my acceptance speech at the 2021 AGM, I’d like to thank all past presidents and board members, who paved the way and made our Local Organisation (JCI Ibadan Elite) what it is today for us (myself and the entire 2022 board) to continue with the good work.

A special thank you goes to my predecessor, JC Toba Adeyeye for putting me under his tutelage, for his immense commitment, his hard work throughout 2021, and for his support during my preparation to take up this role – I’m truly grateful.

On behalf of the newly elected board members, who will all be officially introduced to you during our first business meeting, I promise nothing but commitment to serving you. We will continue to make JCI Ibadan Elite a force to be reckoned with as we live out our 2022 Presidential Theme: #Inspire-Engage-Thrive and the National Presidential Theme: #OneLegacy

I’m very confident that we will go on to do more, be more, and achieve more together in 2022. I urge you all to keep this anchor guide with you throughout the year and in the foreseeable future. We’d all agree that 2021 was a very challenging year in many aspects, but being part of an organisation like JCI means that we are ambitious and purposeful individuals of the active citizen framework. Let’s continue to exhibit these traits by staying inspired and engaged so we can all thrive in 2022.

My best wishes,

Goodness Morakinyo
2022 President-JCI Ibadan Elite.
