Yabatech alumni plan engagement with govt

The alumni of the Yaba College of Technology, old Secondary School, Lagos, has said it will engage the Federal Government on how to harness the talents of diaspora Nigerians for development.

A statement by the group said the alumni include mainly those within the country and others in the diaspora, especially those who concluded their studies in the school between 1969 and 1973 and are well experienced in business, civil service, manufacturing, and entrepreneurship.

The spokesperson for the alumni, Lawrence Daria, said, “Many in the College see the planned convergence as one of its kind, and a rare show of patriotism. We express the preparedness of the alumni to engage the incoming Federal Government on how to harness the talents of diaspora Nigerians for development.”

He said the alumni were set to embark on a revolutionary homecoming.

“The event is slated for July 29, 2023, and will be a special occasion for memoirs and reliving old times. The event will also mark the 50th anniversary of the school’s closure.”

“The event is being organised with the full understanding of the authorities of Yaba College of Technology, Lagos, where a courtesy visit will be paid. The homecoming will also feature workshops, presentation of gifts, and exchange of ideas about the plans of the alumni.”
