This initiative aims to enhance the learning environment at their former school, as detailed in a statement to The PUNCH. Soji Williams, Chairman of the Project Subcommittees, explained that the solar project will provide electricity to the science block, ensuring uninterrupted power for students and staff. He emphasized that this project is a fulfillment of the alumni's commitment to supporting the younger generation and improving the facilities at their alma mater. The anniversary festivities will kick off with a Jumaat service at the school on Friday, followed by a novelty football match between the 1996 and 1995 sets on Saturday. Peter Essien, Chairman of the Central Planning Committee, highlighted that the football match will be part of a broader program that includes a health talk, a project to give back to the school, and a dinner. These activities aim to bring together alumni for a day of fun, connection, and positive impact on their former institution.",
