    A big thanks and extreme appreciation to the former pupils of UMSS for amassing calculative steps to advance an academic association that seeks to develop and promote unity, academic excellence including the socio-economic development of its members and society at large.

    I also extend profound thanks to the school administration and the UMC mission especially the District Superintendent Madam Bockarie for the permissive environment established to ensuring and allowing such Association to exist. Our centripetal roles are to collaborate, cooperate and complement the school administration and society at large.

    I hold the believe that our elected officials will deliver for the essential interest of all thus, I appeal to all compatriots to converge our diverse collective efforts with the spirit to see that our newly executive elect succeeds.

    Long Live UMAAM
    Long Live UMSS
    Long Live Sierra Leone


    FROM: Ansumana F Kanu
