The South West Guild of Online Publishers (SWEGOP) on Thursday elected new executives to pilot its affairs.

At a meeting held at the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) Press Centre, Iyaganku, Ibadan, members appointed former Southwest Bureau Chief of the Nations newspapers, Bisi Oladele as Chairman, with Dapo Falade emerging as Vice Chairman. Taiwo Oluwadamilare was named Secretary, while Joseph Okuwofu will serve as Assistant Secretary.

Other officials include Temi Aboderin as Financial Secretary, and Remi Oladoye as Public Relations Officer (PRO).

The selection process was coordinated by Tunde Busari, who urged the new leadership to uphold the trust placed in them and work towards advancing the association’s mission.

Speaking at the event, the immediate past chairman, Olayinka Agboola, assured the new executives of his continued support and guidance, emphasising that his doors remain open for advice and collaboration.

In his acceptance speech, the newly elected Chairman, Bisi Oladele, expressed gratitude to members for their confidence in the new leadership.

“We are very conscious of how challenging the journey has been to this stage. Thank you for trusting us with your votes to lead this association. We acknowledge the challenges SWEGOP faces, but with the support of the last executives and our members, we are confident in achieving our goals,” he said.

The new chairman commended Olayinka Agboola for his remarkable contributions to the guild over the past nine years. He lauded Agboola for expanding SWEGOP’s membership as well as his dedication to strengthening the association.

He further revealed that the House has been dissolved, and there will be a fresh membership registration, along with a new set of rules and regulations for engagement and membership in SWEGOP.

The new chairman, therefore, called for the support and collaboration of all members to move the association forward.
