BOFEPUSU executive report

1.0. Preamble Delegates to Congress would note that this report endeavours to give a holistic account of the state of the federation in all aspects and facets for the period under review. Delegates to Congress would note further that the period under review, which this report is being given 16th September 2023. It should be regrettably noted that this congress could have been held last year, around July of 2022, the period when the term of office of this committee elapsed. However, because the federation underwent some financial rough patches that have incapacitated it to hold an event of this magnitude, the congress could not be held at that time. Some affiliates had at that time, taken some decision to withhold their subscriptions to the federation. Consequent to that, the congress was delayed up to today 16th September 2023. It should be noted by delegates to congress that there has never been any intention whatsoever by the current committee to want to deliberately, purposefully and without just cause, extend its stay in office.
