The person at the driver's seat largely shapes the journey for everyone on board. Some leaders, however, yield the wheel to Jesus, letting Him direct the chapter's path. Mr. Solomon Olalekan Bakare, President of FECA Rukpokwu chapter during the 2016-2018 tenure, exemplified this surrender.
A native of Ikorodu, Mr. Solomon has spent most of his life in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. He studied Science at Federal Government College, Port Harcourt and works as a Digital Creator. [Connect with Mr. Solomon on Facebook](https://web.facebook.com/Lekan.Solo01). His birthday is September 16.
Vibrant and zealous for FECA's vision, he led the chapter to growth under God's guidance. His tenure strengthened its foundation. [Embedded Facebook Post]
