NELFUND MD seeks more support for Igbobi College infrastructure

The Managing Director of the Nigeria Education Loan Fund, Akintunde Sawyerr, an alumnus of Igbobi College in Lagos, has called for increased support from the college's old students to enhance its infrastructure. Igbobi College, which has remained largely unchanged since Sawyerr's time as a student over five decades ago, has aging buildings that require regular maintenance to avoid deterioration.

Sawyerr emphasized the need for continued investment in the school's facilities, urging old students to support the institution through infrastructure development, scholarships, and other interventions. The NELFUND boss also highlighted the importance of sportsmanship and fair play, urging students to strive for excellence academically and in sports while treating others fairly.

The Igbobi College Old Boys' Association is committed to supporting the school through infrastructure development, scholarships, and other initiatives, having secured an endowment fund target of N10bn, with over N3bn already obtained from old students.
