Okoya said in her presidential acceptance speech that the desirable act will engender progressive leadership, fosters recognition, acceptance of diversity, and inclusivity which are the foundations of sustainable friendships and harmony among nations.

She stressed that she would work towards the vision of being the prime promoter of activities that drive mutual benefit between Nigerian, British, and Commonwealth citizens and the global community at large.

“I will encourage inclusion in our programs and activities to ensure no one is left behind, and also ensure promotion of arts and culture and the facilitation of investments in charitable activities.

Okoya assured that she would play an active role in advancing the objectives of N-BA while building on the achievements of my predecessor.

“I recognize that there is still more to be done and one of my greatest challenges would be to build, maintain the membership and financial base that is needed for the Association’s sustainability.

She thanked and congratulated the outgoing President, Shola Tinubu for his exemplary leadership and vision of a progressive N-BA, adding that the election was a testimony to the legacy his tenure leaves for generations that come behind me, yet unborn.
