Dear Distinguished CIOTANs,

It is always a great delight to write to you, I hope you are keeping well amidst the ‘National Cash Crunch’. This was the name that popped up in my head as I reminisced on the happenings in our nation.

Please, keep hope alive, hopefully, these birth pangs will herald a nation we will be proud of. I consider myself privileged to lead the Institute at a time like this. It is my belief that CIOTA will be a worthy instrument in this national rebirth. Let’s be reflective as we go about our national and personal duties. Let’s ensure that our individual and collective efforts represent the country we desire.
