LASUECO 2000 is the alumni association of the Economics class of the year 2000. We keep the class together, we look after each other, and we put what we learned to work in the real economy.
The class is spread across banking, government, energy, education, health, trade and the diaspora. LASUECO 2000 exists so that distance never turns into distance.
We arrived at the Ojo campus in 1996, when lecture notes were handwritten, results were pasted on a notice board, and nobody in the class owned a mobile phone. We sat through the strikes and the blackouts, argued about devaluation in tutorials, and finished our final year as the country returned to civilian rule.
Weddings, naming ceremonies, bereavements, hospital bills, job losses. The welfare arm exists so that no member of the class faces a hard season without the class knowing.
Members pool contributions and buy staples in bulk directly from wholesalers, farms and producers, then share by slot. It is a practical answer to food inflation, run by economists.
The Alumni Congress is where welfare, finances and anniversary plans are settled by the whole class. Between congresses we hold reunions, roundtables and the banquet.
Participation is by registration only. Registration closes one week before the date.
On the agenda: alumni welfare, the association’s finances, anniversary planning, and any other business raised by members from the floor.
Members contribute monthly, propose the items they need, vote on the final list, and the Board of Administrators buys in bulk from wholesalers and farms. Everyone collects a share sized to the slots they hold.
One-off, on joining
Minimum. Multiple slots are allowed.
Reunions, congresses, the twentieth anniversary banquet, and the quiet moments in between.
