Abdulai Barrie poises to transform student leadership at UniMak
For a promise is only as good as its maker. Abdulai Barrie, the current Best Orator at the University of Makeni, is set to change the dynamics of students' leadership as the chairperson candidate of the Students' Resurgence Movement with a dutifully firm desire to offer fresh perspectives.
Building his popularity on the mantra of being a supportive personality, as well as implementing developmental-driven initiatives, Barrie's political career is ennobled by a plethora of academic, social and infrastructural achievements, especially during his tenure as the president of the Political Science and International Relations (PoSIR) Department.
Highlighting his six-month successes as president of his department, Barrie led PoSIR to glory in both the Students’ Representative Council Interdepartmental debate and football competitions, where he emerged as Best Orator, as well as was Best Player of the tournament, and eventually clinched the top-scorer award.
Additionally, Barrie's achievements are visible and not limited to constructing a PoSIR garden and organising a memorable dinner ceremony that attracted influential personalities and generated funds for the department.
Beyond his department, Abdulai Barrie has impacted the lives of many students at the University of Makeni in diverse capacities as former Coordinator of the UniMak Study Aid and former Deputy PRO of the UniMak Muslim Jamaat to name but a few.
As a sustainable development advocate, one of Barrie’s goals is to transform the ‘donor-driven’ status of the SRC to a ‘self-reliant’ governing body.
With effective advocacy and good oratory skills, Barrie remains determined to give students a better representation and help the administration to create a conducive learning atmosphere.
