The Executive Secretary/Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Nigerian Shippers’ Council, Pius Ukeyima Akutah, Thursday called on the Adikpo Comprehensive College (ACC) Set 1992 Old Students Association (ACCOSA) to remain united and serve as ambassadors of their alma mater.
Akutah spoke at the first ACCOSA set 1992 get-together celebration at the school hall in Adikpo, Benue state.
The reunion marked 32 years since the set graduated from the institution.
Pius Akutah, a lawyer and member of the set, expressed his joy at being reunited with his mates.
He emphasised the importance of unity and strength among the old students, stating that their collective progress is tied to their bond with each other and their alma mater.
Akutah acknowledged the significant contribution of their teachers to their success, noting that some have passed away while others are still alive.
He urged his fellow old students to render assistance to those teachers who are still alive.
He commended the proprietor of the school Tyoor Akor Zungwe for maintaining and strengthening the institution.
He pledged that the old students will contribute to the growth and development of the school, rather than waiting for others to take the initiative.
Earlier, in his welcome speech, Philip Gbakurka Gbakaan, the Head boy of ACCOSA ’92, expressed gratitude to God for reuniting the old students.
He emphasised the importance of unity, social and moral skills, teamwork, and collective responsibility towards a better tomorrow.
Gbakaan noted that the reunion provided an opportunity for the old students to interact, share experiences, and celebrate their achievements.
He also paid tribute to their late members, praying for peace and harmony in their families.
