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.
The outgoing Secretary General, Tego Wolasa, joins the esteemed Council of Advisors, now chaired by Inspector Salad Abdi. Other members of the Council include Dr. Jidda Choke, Eng. Hassan Marsa, Colonel (Rtd) Pual Denge, and Ibrahim Gollo.
This experienced council will continue to provide invaluable guidance and support to the new leadership as they navigate the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
Burji Online extends its warmest congratulations to the newly elected office bearers. We are confident that under their leadership, the NBPA will continue to thrive and play a vital role in advancing the interests of the Burji professionals and the community at large in Nairobi and beyond.
