The 1996 set of St. Gregory’s College, Obalende, Lagos, has donated a solar power project to the school to provide reliable electricity for its science block.

The project was formally presented to the school by the alumni set’s project sub-committee on Saturday.

The presentation was attended by members of the 1996 set who travelled from different parts of Nigeria and abroad.

The Head of the Project Committee, Soji Williams, said the project was designed to guarantee uninterrupted power supply to the science block for students and senior staff.

He said the initiative would provide a more conducive environment for teaching, learning and other academic activities.

Williams described the project as the fulfilment of a dream to provide students with the amenities needed to make education more engaging.

Representing the school, Bishop Martin Igbadumhe commended the 1996 set for the initiative and urged other alumni sets to emulate the gesture.

The donation formed part of activities marking the 30th anniversary of the 1996 set, which also included a Jumat prayer, novelty football match, health talk, dinner and thanksgiving service.
