The chairs of the ASA campuses\u2019 working committees for the Njala campus and the Bo campus, respectively, were chosen as Drs. Mohamed Mathew Blango and Emmanuel Dauda. Twelve (12) ASA members were elected as members of the campus working committees, six (6) from each of the two (2) campuses.<\/p>\n<p>Referring to ASA Njala University as the most powerful association in the academic sphere in Sierra Leone, Dr. Brima Gegbe has pledged to negotiate the Conditions of Service of his members, engage on matters about their welfare, build an Exit Strategy for their retiring colleagues to access their Ex-gratia, promote the culture of best organizational practices, moral rectitude, and societal uprightness, create the environment for willing colleagues to acquire the requisite skills to win fundable research and write publishable papers in reputable journals, and pursue high-profile development projects.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo prove efficient, we must come up with new ways of approaching our challenges; ways that can increase our capacity to address multiple challenges at the same time. ASA-NU is by this year making some solid 25 years of uninterrupted existence as a Credible Elite Association. As there is so much we can be proud of as bonafide members of this noble Association, so much more that our business has never been even discussed. If we must be honest with ourselves, it is solving these other issues that we need to add the desired value to our Association,\u201d Dr. Brima Gegbe said in his manifesto.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/sierra-leone\">Sierra-Leone<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Sierra-Leone.
