Akilu urged members to put aside their differences and work collectively in the interest of the forum, stressing that the meeting was intended to resolve outstanding issues rather than revive past controversies.
“The spirit that should guide every one of us is the same: consultation before decision, integrity before convenience and service before self,” he said.
He called on members to embrace patience, humility and constructive dialogue, adding that every contribution should help the chapter find lasting solutions to its challenges.
Akilu also acknowledged receipt of Umar’s resignation letter, in which the outgoing chairman cited the demands of his busy schedule.
He expressed appreciation for Umar’s service to the chapter, commending his time, energy and commitment to the forum.
In their separate remarks, the three newly appointed interim leaders expressed appreciation for the confidence reposed in them and pledged to justify the trust through dedicated service.
They are expected to work with the remaining executive committee members to promote unity, restore confidence and ensure the effective administration of the chapter until a new chairman is elected.
