The National President of the Government College Ibadan Old Boys Association (GCIOBA), Dr. Olawale Babalakin has lauded the solid foundation laid by the founding fathers of the school at inception.
This he said has remained a sure footing upon which the College that has produced eminent personalities, achievers across divers fields, stands till date.
Babalakin gave this assertion while welcoming guests and other dignitaries to GCI’s 93rd Annual Lecture which held at Justice Bolarinwa Babalakin Conference Hall, Gbongan, Osun State yesterday.
He noted that the gathering was here essentially to remind Nigerians about the need for “good, quality education” old students enjoyed and still enjoy till date.
“GCI is a school founded on quality, discipline and sound culture. We are here to remind Nigerians that this is the way to go.
“Special thanks the executive Governor of Oyo State, Engr Seyi Makinde for returning GCI to the old boys for seamless, essential transformation.
“We must create a situation where we found the brightest and the best in every facet of life and our economy. Members of GCI have been a phenomenon over the years and we are still standing.
“The financial, intellectual commitment is what has kept GCI and why it’s still standing today. There is therefore the need for others to take a cue from this,” Babalakin stated.
