This was disclosed in a statement by the association’s President, Omotola Ifafore, made available to Sunday Tribune in Abuja on Saturday.
Speaking on the establishment of GIHAA, Ifafore emphasized the importance of collective action among alumni.
“Our mission is rooted in the belief that through collective endeavor and mutual commitment, we can achieve a substantial and lasting impact,” Ifafore said.
Among the group’s planned initiatives are networking events to foster professional and personal growth; community outreach projects aimed at promoting social responsibility; and educational programs, such as scholarships and learning support for current students.
For its first major philanthropic effort, GIHAA is donating a public address system to the student body of Great Independence Hall.
The donation is intended to enhance communication and participation during student activities and events.
“In concert, we can cultivate a dynamic and supportive community that truly exemplifies the spirit of Great Independence Hall,” Ifafore added.
The association has also extended an invitation to all Independence Hall alumni and members of the public to join its efforts in strengthening ties and advancing the hall’s legacy.
