Communique: ANA, Lagos

A COMMUNIQUE ISSUED AT THE END OF THE FIRST MEETING OF THE CARETAKER COMMITTEE OF ANA LAGOS

Date: 15th January 2020

Preamble
The Executive Council of ANA Lagos State Chapter, led by Mr. Yemi Adebiyi was dissolved on Saturday 11th January 2020 by the General Assembly, in line with the provisions of Article 9.5 of the Constitution. The tenure of the Adebiyi-led executive had elapsed by October 2019, but the Chapter had been unable to conduct elections before the 2019 National Convention in Enugu, as the former National Executive Council had asked that the Chapter election be suspended, because the national Exco was unable to send a delegation to witness the said election.

To run the affairs of the Chapter in the interim, a five-person Caretaker Committee was set up by the state assembly – with a three-month tenure, on the same day, 11th January 2020.


The mandate
The committee was mandated by the general assembly to:

  1. Review all processes, documents, projects, files, assets and liabilities, as the case may be, from the outgoing Executive Council for proper handover to the new Executive Council.
  2. Organise the monthly meetings and readings.
  3. Organise a Lagos State Convention and election for a new Executive Council.
