The old students of the Mass Communication Department of The Polytechnic, Ibadan, Oyo State, have unveiled plans to mark their 20th anniversary.
The group, known as the ASCOM Class of Presidents (Ascom CoP) 1998/2004 set, will inaugurate a solar-powered system for their department as part of activities marking the reunion.
Alhaji Yekeen Akinwale, head of the anniversary media committee, quoted Alhaji Tunde Muraina, chairman of the Central Working Committee (CWC), as saying that the group would extend a similar gesture to the Mass Communication Department at The Ibarapa Polytechnic, Eruwa, Oyo State, which used to be the satellite campus of The Polytechnic, Ibadan, where they completed their National Diploma (ND) programme.
The chairman said the committee had organised a series of activities to celebrate their years of camaraderie and learning legacy, saying that different sub-committees had been inaugurated to drive the activities.
- I’m happy to be a believer in one God – Oluwo
- Zulum tasks Nigerian pilgrims to reflect on peace, unity, tolerance
The CWC chairman disclosed that the reunion would include activities such as health clinics and talks, capacity-building sessions, business promotion and a thanksgiving event.
He said that there would also be awards and recognitions for deserving members who had excelled in their careers, former lecturers and deceased colleagues.
Muraina said the theme of the reunion was: “Ascom Class of Presidents 20th Anniversary Reunion: Today, Tomorrow, Together”.
He further said that the association would also use the reunion to implement various welfare programmes to support its members.
The series of events which began in March, 2024, are expected to be concluded in August, 2024, with a grand finale and the inauguration of a new executive team to steer the association forward.
