  • Alumni of Isonyin Grammar School in Ogun State commissioned a solar streetlight project during celebrations marking 50 years since their graduation.
  • The project aims to improve visibility and security on the school grounds while supporting the institution’s development.
  • The anniversary programme included an awards ceremony recognising alumni contributions and service.

Fifty years after leaving Isonyin Grammar School, members of its 1972/76 alumni association returned with a practical gift: solar streetlights for the school grounds.

The alumni commissioned the project in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State, as part of their golden jubilee celebrations. The lights are intended to improve visibility and security on the premises, while also reflecting the former students’ effort to give back to their alma mater.

The celebration brought together members of the alumni set, traditional ruler Oba Abdul Rasheed Omotayo, who served as Royal Father of the Day, and other guests. The programme also featured an awards night honouring members for their contributions to the alumni body and the preservation of Isonyin Grammar School’s values.

Situ Idowu Olaitan and Michael Ifabanwo received the Legacy Award. Muyiwa Oyewole, Folusho Abiodun, Tayo Sanni, Yomi Amoye, Adediran Ogundero, Adeshina Olusegun, Lanre Rufai and Siji Odulana received Presidential Awards.

Adetola Babatunde, Ademola Sokoya, Ismaila Lawal and Bimbo Odukoya received Enduring Service Awards. Akin Bashiru and Prince Adeyinka Sipe received Task Achievers Awards, while Engineer Abdul-Ganiyu Situ and Manque Obafemi Obikoya received Diaspora Awards. The association’s president, Gbenga Okusanya, was honoured with a Leadership Award.
