The old students have been awarded various honours as part of the anniversary celebrations.

Eko Hot Blog reports that Thursday, January 25, 2024, marked a memorable day in the history of Molusi College, Ijebu Igbo, Ogun State, as the citadel of learning honoured some of its industrious old students.

The award ceremony held at the school’s Assembly Hall which brought fond memories back to the old students in attendance.

The school, which is celebrating its 75th anniversary, invited old students to return to their alma mater and receive various honours for their contributions to the progress of the institution.

Accordingly, Molusi College awarded individuals and each academic sets for being part of the school’s success stories.

The awardees include Pa Segun Olusanya and Prof. Ayo Ogunye, who received the ‘Living Legend’ Awards.

Others recipients of recognition awards include Dr. Wole Kukoyi, Mr. J. O. Adegbuyi, Otunba T. J. Abass, Dr. Ayo Okunola, Dr. Tai Solarin, Mrs. Bunmi Ogunbanjo, amongst others.

Otunba Abass, who was the emissary of the ’69/’73 set at the event, expressed his pride at being selected by his mates to be the torchbearer for the prestigious award.

He described the award as the tangible proof of “the intangible values and teachings that have been the bedrock of our lives.”

The Molusi College old student further described the award as a catalyst for future connections and collaborations to continue to positively impact society, particularly their alma mater.

“In the triumphant spirit of this anniversary, we choose not to dust off the old commitment. Like couples renewing their marital vow, we recommit to excellence, inclusivity and the shared pursuit of knowledge,” the Aremo of Epe stated.

The event showcased the enduring legacy of Molusi College which is littered with successful and grateful alumni who are happy to return to their alma mater.

The school’s motto — Only the best is good enough for Molusi College — heavily reflects in the lives of most of its products who have gone on to be the best in their endeavours.

The ceremony laid bare the healthy relationship between the Molusi College management and the old students.

At a time when educational institutions across Nigeria are facing financial struggles and infrastructural deficit, this healthy relationship has encouraged the Molusi College Old Students’ Association (MOCOSA) to facilitate various infrastructural development on the school premises.

Various academic sets of the secondary school have sponsored several projects that have added exceptional value to the institution.

The school presented awards to past sets to appreciate their generosity towards their alma mater.

No doubt, this gesture of goodwill will blossom the relationship between Molusi College management and the old students and encourage the latter to make greater contribution to the development of their alma mater.
