The Old Students Association of Ansar-ud-Deen Grammar/Secondary School Surulere Class of 84, will be celebrating 40 years anniversary of their graduation from the school this June.
To celebrate the landmark anniversary themed, My Alma Mata: Towards Relationships That Matter, And Friendships That Last, a four-day activities have been lined up by the organising committee of the event.
According to the Chairman, 40th Anniversary Central Planning Committee, Mr. Abdulwasiu Kehinde, the celebration will commence on Wednesday, June 19 with a courtesy visit to Randle General Hospital directly opposite the school.
The choice of Randle General Hospital for a humanitarian visit to commemorate the anniversary is particularly symbolic as the hospital was a go-to facility for medical treatment by many of the old students.
The visit is therefore a means of saying thank you to the hospital and also to show a token of appreciation with some gift items as a way of contributing to its growth.
The day two of the event is a career talk for SS1&2 students of the school.
However, the talk which was originally scheduled for Thursday, June 19 will now hold on Tuesday, June 25, due to a change in the school’s academic calendar.
