The alumni appreciated the Ogun State Government under the leadership of Prince Dapo Abiodun for the construction of a block of classrooms in the school.
In his remarks, the State Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Prof Abayomi Arigbabu declared that old students are the only stakeholders in schools that give back to their alma mater without expecting any gain in return.
