CARTAN - AGM 2022 - 1A Committee made up of established cartoonists, Adewale Adenle, TAYO Fatunla, and Modestus Ukeoma successfully mid-wifed the 2022 CARTAN election of the new executive transition. And beautiful was the air of peace-ableness that pervaded the whole process.

Dada Adekola recognizes that past administrations have performed remarkably well in advancing the progress of CARTAN and admitted that in every democratic organization such as CARTAN, a continuation of programs and at the same time a necessary shift in positions and administrative strategies, are inevitable, such as recognizing that the welfare and professional opportunities of/for CARTAN members should be at the core of our projects, especially in this age of dwindling newspaper business. Increased members’ participation on our social platforms with bi-monthly professional critique day, monthly media exploration day, and other activities. And revenue drive-through programming will be a priority.
