The Local Organizing Committee, LOC of Government College Ughelli Old Boys Association, GUOBA, has fixed the association’s 6th National Dinner and Fund Raising Party for Saturday, October 7, 2017 at the Ground Ball Room of Eko Hotel & Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos by 6pm.
According to the chairman of the LOC, Mr. Alfred Okoigun, since 2003 when members of the association visited the Old school, GUOBA has lived to its responsibilities of ensuring that the Old school does not lack basic amenities.
Okoigun explained that the association had through the collective and individual intervention of members restored the dilapidated hostels, administrative building and classrooms.
“We have also built and equipped an ICT centre to bring the school administration and students up to date with contemporary standards. Other efforts are ongoing by the old boys and NGOs to restore sports facilities, engage teachers and encourage students through scholarship awards”, Okoigun said in a statement signed by him and the secretary, Steve Ighofose.
According to the LOC, this year’s event promises to raise the bar as the association hopes to raise funds for the completion of other ongoing projects embarked on by the Old boys in the school.
