– As He Graces Alumni Global Executive Council Meeting of His Alma Mater

By: Goke Williams

Otunba Alabi Alaba Olabamidele Charles, the elected Chairman of Oyemekun Grammar School Akure Alumni Association 1986/87/88 Sets, says his administration is currently embarking on a complete renovation of three blocks of classrooms at the prestigious Oyemekun Grammar School, Akure.

Otunba Charles Alaba made this known to Gok Communications recently in Akure, the Ondo State capital, at the Global Executive Council (GEC) meeting of the Oyemekun Grammar School Akure Alumni Association held at the Alumni Secretariat of the school.

In his words: "We are determined to contribute immensely to the overall development of our alma mater; and as I speak, work is ongoing at the project site for an overhaul renovation of three blocks of classrooms in the school."

This is sequel to the official invitation extended to the three conglomerate sets' leadership by the 10th GEC of the alumni body.

Notably, it has become the custom of the global old students that a set that clocks 40 years of leaving the highly revered institution hosts the school's yearly founder's week anniversary/annual general meeting in collaboration with the global body and the school's administration.

Otunba Charles Alaba, who by virtue of his profession as the current President of Real Estate Managers' Association of Ondo State (REMASSOS), made robust contributions at the floor of the hallowed chamber of the GEC meeting, especially in the area of encroachment of the school land. He assured the honorable setting of his ever-readiness to ensure that appropriate steps are taken in retrieving the said land.

He further established the readiness of the sets to host a fantastic 63rd Founder's Week Anniversary by January 2026. He also made mention of some of the projects already achieved by the sets.

While conveying the sets' greetings to the setting, Otunba Charles Alaba, in company of Dr. Ifedayo Josiah, an active member of the sets, wowed by the achievements of the GEC, heartily appreciated them for a job well done and prayed for God's divine mercy, favor, and blessings for all members.

Indeed, Otunba Charles Alaba is fulfilling the promise made to the sets. It would be recalled that at the inauguration of the executive members of the 1986/87/88 sets, Otunba Charles assured the elite gathering that the executive, whom he tagged the "Legacy Team," under his watch would usher in rapid development for the sets, alumni, and the institution.

The Global Executive Council meeting was presided over physically by Dr. Niyi Ijogun, FNIQS, who is the Global President of Oyemekun Grammar School Akure Alumni Association, with attended members from different branches across Nigeria and abroad.

Dr. Niyi Ijogun, in response, described the group as remarkable, being a conglomeration of three different sets coming together as one formidable and indivisible set. Speaking further at the meeting, he commended the sets under the leadership of Otunba Charles Alaba for their laudable achievements in terms of human and infrastructural development.

He appreciated their commitment to the growth of the association and the institution, adding that all hands must be on deck for a complete overhaul of the school. He, however, expressed confidence in the groups to host a very successful 73rd Founder's Week Anniversary of the school.

Here are some of the achievements of the 1986/87/88 sets:

- Donation of 100 plastic chairs and 78 textbooks of different authors to the school.

- Courtesy visit to the wife of late Revd. J.O. Olugasa, former principal of the school, with a financial gift.

- Provision and reticulation of hostel borehole.

- Building of modern staff toilets and tuck shops.

- Renovation and provision of modern furniture and equipment for laboratories.

- Renovation of blocks of classrooms.

- Erection of 10 solar power.

- Schoolarship schemes for indigent students and amongst others.

Beware of Ondo-Ore Road

– As Motorists Call for Urgent Attention... The Ondo-Ore Road, currently undergoing construction, has become an exceedingly dangerous route for motorists plying it. An eyewitness, who requested anonymity, shared his experience with Gok Communications. "The contractor responsible for the project should please establish accessible entry and exit points along the road, in addition to providing more prominent road signs and diversion signposts to facilitate the movement of vehicles, particularly during this rainy season. Numerous cars were trapped on the road while I was navigating it this evening," he lamented. He therefore implored the government to appeal to the contractors handling the Ondo-Ore road construction to take the necessary actions to ensure a seamless flow of transportation along the busy road. However, the federal government's vigorous efforts in the dualization of the road are highly commendable. It is indeed a testament to the dividends of democracy, and al...

Tragedy: Female Student Stabbed Male Student over Dispute

A disturbing incident happened at Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, on Monday, leaving the student community in shock. A 100-level English Education student, simply indentified as Aisha, allegedly stabbed a fellow student from the Chemistry Education department with a broken bottle near his chest. The altercation arose from a seemingly argument over phone charging, which rapidly escalated into a violent confrontation. According to eyewitnesses, Aisha had been embroiled in a heated argument with a group of students who had gathered to charge their phones at her villa. The persistent electricity supply issues in the town had led to this gathering, which Aisha apparently found intolerable. As tensions flared, a male student attempted to intervene and calm Aisha down, but she remained unappeased. In a fit of rage, she seized a bottle from the ground, broke it, and stabbed the male student near his chest. The injured student was swiftly rushed to the state hospital in Ikare for urg...

"Don't Wait for Happiness to Start Tomorrow..."

India Air Plane Crash Pratik Joshi had been living in London for six years. A software professional, he’d long dreamed of building a life abroad for his wife and three young children, who stayed back in India. After years of waiting for due clearances the dream was finally coming true. Just two days ago, his wife, Dr. Komi Vyas, a renowned doctor in Udaipur, resigned from her job. The bags were packed, goodbyes said, the future within reach. This morning, the family of five, filled with hope and excitement, boarded Air India flight 171 to London. They clicked a selfie. Sent it to relatives. A one-way journey to a new life. But they never made it. The plane crashed. No one survived. In a matter of moments, a lifetime of dreams turned to ash. A brutal reminder, life is terrifyingly fragile. Everything you build, everything you hope for, everything you love, it all hangs by a thread. So while you can, live, love, and don’t wait for happiness to start tomorrow. – Brian Jonah Dennis One Per...
