Mrs. Oyinkansola Badejo-Okusanya speaks; There is no task that is insurmountable once you break it down into smaller, manageable components. That is what project management is all about. And, the Annual General Conference is definitely a project. A humongous one at that, and it must be properly managed to be successful.
Teamwork is critical to managing a project of any magnitude really. The cliché that teamwork makes the dream work is true, and this, I would say, is the major tool we have deployed in the Conference Planning Committee to tackle any challenges that may arise.
The first thing that the Chairman of the CIC, Mazi Atam Osigwe, SAN did, was to divide the CFC into sub committees.
We have sub committees for Finance & Fundraising; Content, Entertainment, Administration; Media & Publicity; Monitoring Evaluation and Logistics, which I chair.
Through the sub committees we have been able to handle the myriad of tasks required, to put this huge project together. It’s daunting, no doubt, but with the help of God we are getting it right!
