In a remarkable show of unity and progressiveness, the Young Medical Laboratory Scientists Forum (YMLSF) FCT Branch has successfully elected its new leaders in a peaceful and highly participatory biannual election. The election, which took place today, witnessed an impressive turnout of eligible members, highlighting their commitment to shaping the future of the medical laboratory profession.
Under the guidance of the Electoral Committee (ELECO) Chairman, MLS Oge John Friday, the election process unfolded seamlessly, reflecting the cohesiveness and forward-thinking spirit of the FCT Branch of the Forum.
“I am delighted that this process proceeded flawlessly, indicating that the FCT Branch of the Forum is united and progressive,” expressed Mr. John.
Due to previous directives issued by the Association of Medical Laboratory Scientists of Nigeria (AMLSN), the parent body of the Forum, all affiliate groups were required to suspend their activities until after the forthcoming national Scientific Conference/AGM scheduled to be held in the FCT Branch from 16th to 19th November 2023. Consequently, the election was conducted virtually, with members casting their votes electronically.
During the pre-election briefing, MLS Oge John Friday reiterated Article 15:A vs 4 of the YMLSF By-laws, which stipulated that “Election shall be by open secret or virtual where there is a restriction of movement or physical gathering.”
The newly elected officers and their respective positions are as follows:
