At the 35th scientific conference and annual general meeting presided over by the outgoing president of the association, Comrade Raji A.

Stephen and Jethro Haruna Joe, the association’s new national president and national secretary, respectively urged the government to increase national security surveillance, take proactive steps regarding the economic hardship affecting the general public and check the degenerating moral standard in society, especially among the youth.
