Old students of ECWA Secondary School, Igbaja in Ifelodun local government area of Kwara State have donated a block of two classrooms to their alma mater.

The school, established in 1944 is currently facing infrastructural challenge as most of the buildings are dilapidated while many have collapsed.

During the handing over of the building to the school's management, the chairman of the 1983 set of the old students association, Chief Samuel Alabi, said members of the set came together to form the association with a view to contributing their quota to the growth of the school.

Alabi said the group had in the past sponsored school inter-house sports, renovated a block of two classrooms and facilitated books for the school library.

“In addition, one of us, Architect Ibikunle Shonibare, also facilitated the location of a Federal Government motorized borehole with overhead tank to the school”, he said.

“The citadel of learning is the first and the oldest post primary institution in the Ifelodun local government area, even in the entire lgbomina/Ekiti and may be in present Kwara state. It's also the second Teachers' Training College in the Northern Region and she produced eminent personalities in the society.

“Over the years, the school has made the community, local government and state proud in academics, games and sports. The institution has been a model to schools around and a centre, though, most of the buildings are already old while many have collapsed”, he said.
