TOGETHER WE RISE AS ONE FACULTY


BY RT. HON. TEMIDAYO FRIDAY

SPEAKER, ESAN–AFUED FACULTY PARLIAMENT (2024/2025 ACADEMIC SESSION)


UNITY HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE HEARTBEAT OF PROGRESS. A SINGLE BROOMSTICK BREAKS EASILY, BUT A BUNDLE STANDS STRONG. AS STUDENTS AND LEADERS UNDER THE EDUCATION STUDENTS’ ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA (ESAN–AFUED), OUR STRENGTH LIES NOT IN OUR DIFFERENCES, BUT IN THE POWER OF OUR TOGETHERNESS.


AS JOHN C. MAXWELL ONCE SAID, “TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK, BUT VISION KEEPS THE TEAM ON TRACK.” EVERY DEPARTMENT, EVERY REPRESENTATIVE, AND EVERY MEMBER OF OUR FACULTY HAS A UNIQUE ROLE IN SHAPING THE GREATNESS WE ALL DESIRE TO SEE. WHEN HANDS JOIN AND HEARTS ALIGN, NO CHALLENGE IS TOO GREAT TO OVERCOME.

TRUE LEADERSHIP IS NOT ABOUT POWER OR POSITION, IT IS ABOUT PURPOSE AND PEOPLE. IT IS ABOUT LEADING BY EXAMPLE, INSPIRING THROUGH SERVICE, AND CREATING AN ATMOSPHERE WHERE OTHERS FEEL VALUED AND EMPOWERED. AS NELSON MANDELA WISELY SAID, “A LEADER IS LIKE A SHEPHERD. HE STAYS BEHIND THE FLOCK, LETTING THE MOST NIMBLE GO OUT AHEAD, WHEREUPON THE OTHERS FOLLOW , NOT REALIZING THAT ALL ALONG HE IS DIRECTING THEM FROM BEHIND.”

DISAGREEMENT SHOULD NEVER LEAD TO DIVISION. EVEN THE FINGERS ON THE SAME HAND ARE NOT EQUAL, YET THEY WORK TOGETHER TO ACHIEVE GREATNESS. EACH ONE OF US, THE STUDENT, THE EXECUTIVE, THE STUDENTS’ UNION FACULTY REPRESENTATIVES, AND THE STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE COUNCIL WITH ITS HONORABLE MEMBERS PLAYS A VITAL ROLE IN OUR COLLECTIVE SUCCESS.

REMEMBER THE AFRICAN PROVERB, “IF YOU WANT TO GO FAST, GO ALONE. IF YOU WANT TO GO FAR, GO TOGETHER.” OUR JOURNEY AS A FACULTY IS NOT A SPRINT BUT A MARATHON, BUILT ON PATIENCE, RESPECT, AND MUTUAL SUPPORT.


NATIONS RISE NOT BY INDIVIDUAL BRILLIANCE, BUT BY THE UNITY OF THEIR PEOPLE. THE WRIGHT BROTHERS CONQUERED THE SKY THROUGH COOPERATION, AND EVEN THE HEART AND BRAIN, DIFFERENT IN FUNCTION WORK TOGETHER TO GIVE LIFE. UNITY REMAINS OUR GREATEST STRENGTH.

AS FUTURE TEACHERS, COUNSELORS, AND LEADERS, WE MUST EMBODY THIS SPIRIT OF TOGETHERNESS. LET US MAKE OUR FACULTY A MODEL OF PEACE, DISCIPLINE, AND COLLECTIVE GROWTH. LET US CHOOSE PEACE OVER PRIDE, HUMILITY OVER EGO, AND COOPERATION OVER COMPETITION.


AS THE PROVERB SAYS, “A SINGLE TREE CANNOT MAKE A FOREST,” AND “WHEN SPIDERS UNITE, THEY CAN TIE DOWN A LION.” TOGETHER, WE CAN BUILD A FACULTY WHERE UNITY FUELS GROWTH, DISCIPLINE DRIVES PROGRESS, AND LOVE BINDS US AS ONE FAMILY.


IN UNITY, WE SHALL RISE. IN SERVICE, WE SHALL SHINE. AND IN LOVE, WE SHALL LAST.


ALUTA CONTINUA, VICTORIA ASCERTA!

ONE FACULTY, ONE FAMILY, ONE PURPOSE.

 Team Education Makes History at the 35th Convocation Games! On May 20, 2025, Team Education etched their names in the history books by triumphing over the School of Science in a thrilling football final at the 35th Convocation Games of Adeyemi Federal University of Education. The match began with a tightly contested first half, where both sides showed tactical discipline, resulting in a goalless scoreline.
