Burji Online

The Nairobi Burji Professionals Association (NBPA) recently concluded its elections, marking a significant transition in leadership. This follows two years of dedicated service by the interim leadership, a period characterized by notable progress.

Under the visionary guidance of Chairman Bashir Dawe Sode, the interim NBPA achieved a crucial milestone: the formal registration of the association as a professional body on October 3rd, 2022. This pivotal step shifts NBPA from an informal extension of the Nairobi Burji Council of Elders towards a more impactful and independent entity.

Other interim officials included Halim Dae (Vice Chairman), Tego Wolasa (Secretary General), Boru Yate (Treasurer), and Hussein Solle Sode (Organizing Secretary). The team was supported by a distinguished interim Council of Advisors comprising Col. Denge, Dr. Jidda, Omar Dambi, and Wolde Wesa.

New Leadership Elected

The recently concluded elections, guided by the Nairobi Burji Council of Elders, ushered in a new leadership team. Churko Choke assumes the role of Chairman, with Ralia Hussein appointed as Vice Chairman.  Bashir Dawe took the powerful Secretary General docket. Engineer Lolo Chande takes on the position of Organizing Secretary, while Hamida Said Sago assumes the role of Treasurer.
