AOB

1. The meeting came to an early end due to the meeting of FGCO Old students association that was re-scheduled and therefore clashed with the FGCO 8490 meeting at the same venue.
2. Next meeting slated for 3pm on the 26 September 2010 at the same venue – Chicago Spicy Chicken, OPIC Plaza, Mobolaji Bank-Anthony Way, Ikeja.
