The event brought together prominent alumni, including Major General Abdul Khalifa Ibrahim and former Governor of Jigawa State, Senator Saminu Turaki. Turaki adopted the school’s best student, Joseph Dominion Obi, offering him a full university scholarship and additional cash prizes totalling nearly ₦1.6 million.
“We will provide over 1,000 laptops to all students by the next academic year. The move will go a long way in transforming digital learning and set an example for other public schools,” Turaki stated.
In his keynote address, Major General Ibrahim emphasised the role of mentorship, quality education, and leadership, urging students to strive for greatness. “View alumni as examples of success,” he advised.
FGCKADOSA Global President, Mr Seyi Gambo, stressed the importance of alumni support for public schools, citing the recent sponsorship of four students and two coaches to represent Nigeria at an international robotics competition in California.
The school’s principal, Prince Adewale Adeyanju, expressed gratitude to the alumni, describing the day as a milestone in the school’s history. “The leadership of FGCKADOSA, the inspirational message from Ibrahim, and Turaki’s game-changing laptop pledge all underscore a bright future for the students and Nigerian education at large,” he said
