What more (by way of secretarial experience) can you ask for?

IDDI's message and admonition to every Ghanaian student is that, "as we gear up for congress (2014), we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that the secret of the game is EXPERIENCE and hence I respectfully implore you not to hesitate in lending your unflinching support for a Tried, Tested and Proven Young Chap like IDDI Muhayu-Deen for the position of NUGS General Secretary".
