 In our two education matters, members of Government College Maccordie Old Boys Association have resolved to restore the alma mater by renovating some infrastructure in the school. This was the high point of the school's national convention and annual general meeting in Maccordie. The president of the Maccordie Old Boys Association, Dr. Muhammad Adamou, while speaking at the convention said despite a number of challenges, there were some positives which recommended the Governor of Benu State for. As with any association, the Moses is a finance, at least we need money to do a lot of projects in the school and the money can only be gotten from the old boys. You know these days, you build the burden of education to government alone, alumni will have to come in, BTS will have to come in. So we are trying by all means to contribute to the school that made us what we are today. Governor Samuel Orchum, who was represented by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education Margaret Okwe, who spoke on the efforts of the state's government in providing quality public education. She also commended the old boys for their complementary efforts. Promises and these are people that when they promise they will not fail. They have said they are going to rebuild the principal's house, they are going to renovate the principal's house, renovate some classrooms and do what they can do as old students. And with the calibre of people who are staying this morning or this afternoon, they are not going to bring down, they will not put the government to shame. An old boy of the college and guest speaker of the occasion, Professor Patrick Ucasse of Kogi State University called on the old boys to ensure that the school's high standards of the past are restored. A situation whereby the college has become a doping ground should be completely discouraged by the association. Consequently, a strength and highly competitive admission process based on merit should be introduced by management of the school, commencing from the next academic session. By also ensuring that teachers posted to the school have the requisite qualification, experience and passion to do the job. Earlier, a delighted principal of government college Makodi, Ambur Adjina, spoke on a delight in hosting the old boys, but she also listed several challenges facing the school. The convention featured the presentation of our words to outstanding members, well wishes and old boys who had passed away. Thank you. Thank you.
