Dear Fellow FGGC Abuloma Class of 96 member,It’s almost 20 years since we graduated from our great Alma-mater, FGGC Abuloma. We are so proud of the ladies we have become and what we have accomplished to date.Over the past year, many of us have been engaging in conversations on how best to mark our 20th anniversary and lots of great ideas have been shared. The main idea that emerged was to have a Reunion Event in 2016 at which time a class gift will be presented.
Best Regards,As many of you may know, our dear F.G.G.C Abuloma is no longer as we used to know and love. Years of neglect and insufficient government interest in Federal schools in general have resulted in decline in infrastructure. It is really sad to say that most of the buildings are structurally unsuitable for living and learning.A lot of work has been done to assess the current state of infrastructure in the school to determine the most pressing needs and associated renovation costs. After careful examination and suggestions from the school administration, the Reunion Committee decided that it would be best to renovate a hostel in the school. Besides being one of the cheaper options of all considered, we believe this will serve the school and students perpetually. The class of 1995 held their 20th reunion on December 19th, 2015 and installed a borehole, 2 tanks and a tank stand on the school premises.We have chosen to renovate Primrose House, which up until recently was dedicated to housing all JSS 1 students. The project would involve repairing the walls, ceilings, electrical wiring, windows/doors; installing mosquito nets, fans, toilets and painting. I am sure we all remember how terrifying it was the first day we were dropped off in boarding school. We hope this will provide a smoother transition for the students. After evaluation by 3 contractor firms, the cheapest bid for the total sum of the project was N3,000,000 (Three million naira). Consequently, we are asking each member of the class to donate a minimum of N30, 000 (thirty thousand naira) that may be paid in installments or as a whole. However, we certainly will accept any amount you can afford. Please check you mail boxes regarding details on how to make a donation based on your region of residence.

TO GIVE OR NOT TO GIVE
ReplyDeleteNow consider this part of who you are today started many years ago in Abuloma because that is where you started to understand better knowledge, discipline and progress.
At Knowledge that is where your quest to know more, your curiosity became intense.
At Discipline you learnt how to follow the rules and set goals and we actually achieved them back then AND look at where we all are today
At Progress, remember how we all wanted to make sure we were among the 70 and above during assessment. Remember how we wanted to all pass and go the next class AND today we have all grown to be great women and we are still making progress.
So consider this and give generously to this reunion planned project.
