Ahead of the 150th anniversary of St Anne’s School, Ibadan, slated for October 14 and 19, 2019, the old girls association has disclosed plan to raise N250 million for the refurbishment of their alma mater.

They also disclosed plan to set up an endowment fund into which both old and new students, interested corporate organisations, families and individuals can make donation.

St Anne’s School is the first school in Nigeria, established solely for the education of girls. It is the product of a merger between two schools in 1950, the C.M.S Girls school, founded in 1869 in Lagos and Kudeti Girls School founded in 1899 in Ibadan, Oyo State. Both schools were founded by the Anglican Church. The merger of two schools produced St Anne’s School Ibadan.

Addressing newsmen in Lagos ahead of the anniversary, the planning committee led by its chairman, Mrs. Funmilayo Soleye, said many projects that would restore the glory of the school would be commissioned; and school life exhibitions and awards would also be held.
