Chairman of the Planning Committee, Chris Obode, represented by Committee Secretary ESV. Aiguobasinmwin Hope, welcomed guests, saying, “We have all led normal lives with exuberant moments and sorrowful seasons, and we need to be reminded that the roadmap we are presently following is coming to a new arrival point. So as we celebrate our reunion tonight, it is only important that we reflect on the moments that defined our time at our alma mater as we continue to foster the bonds of mutual trust and friendship amongst us.

Association President Peter Nwadei highlighted key achievements, including a fundraising initiative that generated over N220 million to equip the Mechanical Engineering Foundry Workshop at Auchi Polytechnic. He also noted the presentation of cash awards to five high-performing students, adding that the association’s impact includes financial support for members with medical needs and welfare visits to elderly homes.
