Chairperson's remarks

Thank you for visiting our website.

I am highly honoured to be allowed to serve as the current chair of OLAMIOSA UK Chapter. 

Firstly, I wish to applaud some of the pioneer members of OLA UK and OLAM UK League of 8 friends from 1970 and 1971 class sets.

I also give thanks to the previous executive members of our organisation for their great contributions through the inception of OLAMIOSA UK until the handover to the current executives. 

OLAMIOSA UK Chapter was inaugurated on 18 October 2019 by the first National President, Mrs. Valentina Solarin. 

The past and current executives have worked together with all the pioneering members to increase membership and have worked tirelessly to improve the status of our organisation to date.  The determination to progress the association was strengthened by working together to increase membership from all parts of the United Kingdom through collective effort. However, a lot of work still needs to be done to increase membership participation.

OLAMIOSA UK Chapter with current membership of 45, has  achieved the status of Charity with approval of UK Charity Commission in September 2023. 

We have initiated a project to support the development of IT skills for the students. We are actively working towards a Learning Resource Centre to enable the students to acquire skills and gain experience in digital technology. 

We are involved in the coordination of activities to create value for our students and members. These activities include networking, mentoring, and fundraising.

I commend the efforts of my Executive Team, Board of  Charity Trustees, past and present (National Executive Members (NEC),  and all members locally and internationally for their support and encouragement.

 I pray that OLAMIOSA UK, through sharing of a common goal with other Chapters and organisations will continue to progress the mission of our charity and the global association in the upliftment of educational standards of Maryway students through transformational leadership.  

Mrs. Mary Ogwu
