QIP had a chat with the Queen Idia Hall Chairperson(HC). Below are excerpts from the interview;
QIP: Tell us about yourself?
HC: My name is Olatunji Alafe Precious, a 400 level student of law.
QIP: Have you had any challenges so far, being the hall chairperson?
HC: Yes. For example, making the right decisions and leading a whooping more than 1000 girls from different backgrounds, cultures and views isn’t an easy task.
QIP: How have you been coping with these challenges?
HC: I have been coping just fine because my fellow executives have been helping me a lot and God has been helping me most especially.
QIP: What is your relationship with other executives?
HC: My relationship with other executives so far has been so good. I am lucky to have them as part of my cabinet, I couldn’t wish for a better set of executives.
QIP: Tell us about your relationship with Idiaites?
HC: I have tried to do my best and make myself available to the best of my ability.
QIP: What are your plans towards the hall week?
HC: My plans towards the hall week is to give Idiaites a very great hall week especially as I promised in my mannifesto- to give Idiaites what UI has never had before. With the help of God and my fellow excos, the hall week would be something Idiaites would write home about.
QIP: Many Idiaites are eagerly anticipating their packages, could you give us a hint of what we should expect?
HC: As I said in the congress,I apologize for the delay in giving out packages. I would like Idiaites to expect something different from what they have always been getting.
QIP: The congress that held on Friday instigated an uproar from Idiaites, tell us what actually happened?
HC: Well, I expected members of the press to have been present to cover the congress.
QIP: Why do you think the variety night and dinner should be merged?
HC: I already gave a million and one reasons at the congress why the dinner and variety night should be merged.
QIP: How would you rate your performance as hall chairperson so far?
HC: In law, you can’t be a judge in your own case. This is my case and I am not in the best position to rate my performance, but I can say that I have been giving it my best shot.
QIP: Is there any other thing you would like to tell Idiaites?
HC: I would like Idiaites to know that my tenure would welcome transparency, togetherness and rebirth as I said in my manifesto. To achieve this, I would like Idiaites to constantly read the notice board and listen when anything is announced on the Public Address system because I would be getting back to them through those medium.
QIP: Thanks for your time
HC: You are welcome.
