The Member representing Ndokwa West Constituency in the Delta State House of Assembly, Hon. Charles Emetulu has stated that leadership is all about the people you lead. That if you are not ready to serve them do not venture taking leadership position.
Hon. Emetulu made the statement in Asaba when he received the leaders of the Federated Union Of Ndokwa Students ( FUNS) on introduction and commendation call.
He said if anyone aspired for any leadership position and does not do well the person should accept responsibility.
Hon. Emetulu who charged FUNS leadership to concentrate their sensitisation on drugs at the higher institutions, especially for fresh students, advised the delegation to consider organising educational programmes for Ndokwa students at all levels.
“Engage more in educational programmes and engage the services of educationists as speakers”. He said.
While assuring the visitors of his continuous support for FUNS, the former Delta State cabinet member urged the students leaders to be proactive and pragmatic in handling issues that really affect their colleagues (students), especially the welfare aspects of FUNS.
Hon. Emetulu charged the leadership of FUNS to dedicate an account for scholarship. “I want to see that FUNS have a dedicated account for scholarship”. He said.
Earlier in his address, the President of FUNS Comrade Epechi Bright appealed to the Honourable Member to partner with the Students body as they set to sensitize post primary school pupils across Ndokwa Nation on the effect of drug abuse, illegal migration and other social vices.
“Sir, its no more news that most youths have gotten so addicted to hard drugs that they can nearly stay an hour without consuming. The effect turns out to affect the society negatively”. Comrade Epechi noted.
He commended Hon. Emetulu for his contributions to the development of Ndokwa students and Ndokwa Nation in general in the past and urged him to continue.
The highlight of the visit was the presentation of a congratulatory commendation card to the Honourable member representing Ndokwa West in the State House of Assembly by the FUNS leaders.
