In commemoration of their 44th graduation anniversary and reunion, the 1981/1982 class of Eko Boys High School has constructed and presented a fully completed toilet block to the Junior Secondary School section of their alma mater.

Following the symposium, Eko Old Boys Association (EKOBA) 81/82 announced the introduction of cash prizes for the best graduating students of each class. Senior secondary school three students will receive N100,000, while students from senior secondary school one and two, and junior secondary school one, two, and three will each get N75,000 and N50,000 respectively.

Benjamin W. Euba Memorial hall. The decision to focus on renovating the toilet project during this reunion aimed to enhance the hygiene conditions for students.

He also mentioned that the alumni body has hired dedicated staff to maintain the cleanliness of the facility. At the official unveiling, Otunba Funso Owoyemi, a member of the EKOBA Board of Trustees, expressed his hope that God would continue to bless those who contributed to the project.
