Speaking on his swearing-in as the new president, Olamide who hails from the department of Electrical/Electronics Engineering said his interest to join the club aroused after his industrial training where he met with a publisher; even though his course of study is about electrical work.
He said: “Well, one of the reasons I joined was because I wanted a club or team of like-minded people (writers, journalists etc.) As I mentioned, I’m from Electrical Engineering Department where we are concerned about what would happen if this red wire meets another red wire. A greater part of engineering students are bothered about solving Circuit Theory, no one has the time or mental fortitude to be a writer.”
He added, “Press Club Mapoly has been known for its excellence. I plan to keep that excellence going.”
