Speaking further, he said the 1990 set has magnanimously renovated two class rooms in the school and has been granting scholarship to outstanding students of the school for many years.

The Principal of the college, Mr. Kolawole thanked the 1990 set for the supports they have been rendering to the college.

Responding to the award, Dr. Olatunji commended the assiduous efforts of 1990 ex-students of the college for giving back to the school and teachers that made them.

He further charged old students at national level to collectively come together and do something worthwhile for the college.

According to him, " I thank you for the honour and for inviting me as an awardee. Although, I'm 1978 set but I'm proud to be associated with this set of old students. We all know so many sets have not done well for this college but 1990 set have excelled in all the sets. It has become a responsibility for all of us to support this great college that produced us" Elder Ogunbiyi, an octogenarian and former principal of the college thanked the 1999 set for remembering him as their principal during their days in school.

" I'm very happy today because I didn't expect any award. I thought I was harsh but today I thank God that l am not hated. I love all my students and I pray for them everyday. And I pray that they should be higher than myself and today, many of you are highly placed. May God continue to bless and strengthen you all", he added.
