Mr. Baiden added that by maintaining active participation, MOGA executives can harness the collective strength of alumni for scholarships, infrastructure development, and student mentorship programmes just like the way any business operates.
“I will suggest that MOGA has a strategic business plan to guide the operations of the association, ensuring structured growth, financial sustainability, and impactful initiatives that align with your long-term vision,” he added.
