AN ADDRESS PRESENTED BY THE PUBLIC RELATIONS OFFICER OF THE LAW STUDENTS’ SOCIETY AT THE LAUNCH OF LSS MEGA WEBSITE ON THE 1ST OF JULY, 2017.
The 35th president of the United States of America, J. F. Kennedy, on Thanksgiving Day Proclamation in 1963 said and I quote,
“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words but to live by them.”
Beyond the lines, beyond the words creating this powerful quote, I have found life. I have found a watchword and that is what I am “living out” today.
I had the idea of creating a mega website for LSS since I was in part two. Then, I was learning web designing and development. Each time I was practising, I always thought of an LSS having a great website. And when the opportunity presented itself, I quickly grabbed it. I give glory to the Almighty God for the success of this project. To everyone that made this project a success, I say thank you. Starting from the General Secretary of the Society, Hassan Yakubu John (HYJ), for sharing the same dream with me, I thank you. To His Excellency, President Adetunji Oluwatobi Paul (BeeGee) and other members of my family, LSS Executive Council, for your support, love and care, I am forever grateful. To the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Adepoju O. Idris (Supreme) and other members of the Law Students’ Representative Council who saw to the ratification of the budget for the project, thank you. To Lord Justice Oyeniran Bolaji, and other members of House of Lords (the judicial arm of the Society), may God bless you.
Nelson Vincent! A law student and a programmer. He spearheaded the creation of both LSS Blog (Ifelaw Writers’ Page) and this project (LSS Mega Website). I saw the pictures, he created them. Although he is really troublesome and nearly gave me heart attack, I am forever indebted to you. Thank you so much for being there every second.
To all members of LSS Publicity Committee, I am forever grateful. Starting from the Secretary of the Committee and part 5 representative, Oladeji Tommy, thanks for being there. Doyinmola (part 4 representative), Nelson Vincent (part 3 representative), Ezinne (part 2 representative) and Temidayo (part 1 representative), thank you. You guys are my strength.
Finally, to every other person that made this project a success, I am forever grateful. More than a promise fulfilled, more than a manifesto achieved, this is a dream come true.
Ladies and gentlemen, with a standing ovation, I therefore present to you the LSS mega website: www.lssoau.org
Thank you so much. God bless IFELAW
