Other executives elected are Emeka Duru as Financial Secretary, Oby Okafor as Treasurer, David Akuma as Director of Guild Services and Kea Adams as Provost.
On behalf of the new executives, Rollas said the new management will build on AGN’s successes over the past three years and will be committed to the well-being of its members.
He therefore appealed to members across the country to shun all divisive tendencies and work with the new leadership to build a formidable guild.
“Today I can say that everything we have done in the last three years has been to lay the foundations, so let us come together and build on the successes we have achieved so far,” he said.
Rollas, who was first elected as the national president of the AGN in 2019, said the date for the inauguration of the new board would be announced soon.
