During the event, Mr Dikwa presented a comprehensive manifesto focused on unity, member dignity, innovation across generations, climate resilience, and measurable national impact.
Key highlights of his proposed agenda include the creation of a Legal Aid Fund (LAF) to provide affordable legal support and digital rights protection for members, and the introduction of an Integrated Connection Engine to link alumni for mentorship, job opportunities, and business collaboration.
He also outlined plans for an Intergenerational Innovation and Enterprise Fund to promote youth-led climate adaptation projects, backed by a four-year capital mobilisation strategy targeting $100 million in grants and investments. In addition, Mr Dikwa pledged to establish a Policy Advisory Group to strengthen USOSA’s role in national development and advocacy.
Speaking on Mr Dikwa’s leadership qualities, Engr Abel Imonighavwe, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Federal Government College Maiduguri Old Students Association (FEGOCOMOSA), commended his integrity and inclusive leadership style.
“During his tenure as FEGOCOMOSA President, he increased membership, reactivated the Board of Trustees, and established the advisory council. Suleiman is a democrat who always seeks others’ input before taking decisions,” he said.
Imonighavwe added that Dikwa’s selfless service and personal sacrifices make him a trusted candidate.
“While most leaders look for how to embezzle money, Suleiman used his own resources to run the association.
He is a man of integrity, patience, and passion, and we are ready to support him to become the next President-General of USOSA,” he said.
Mr Dikwa, who also serves as the pioneer Director of the Global Climate Adaptation Business Alliance, said his campaign aims to professionalise member services, create more opportunities for younger alumni, and strengthen USOSA’s contribution to national policy and development.
