Alumni Association Donates Clinic to School, Set to Train Students …1971-75 Set of Ansar-Ud-Deen College, Isolo, Celebrates Golden Jubilee
The 1971–1975 set of Ansar-Ud-Deen College, Isolo, Lagos, under the banner of the Ansar-Ud-Deen College Isolo Old Students’ Association (ADCIOSA), is set to donate a fully equipped health center to the school, provide skill acquisition training for students, and reward outstanding academic performance as part of activities marking their 50th graduation anniversary.
Speaking at a press conference held at the school premises on Monday, Chairman of the set, Mr. Lateef Olaseinde Karim, SAN, said the golden jubilee celebration will commence on Thursday June 26 with a special assembly involving staff, students, and invited guests.
A key highlight of the event, according to him, will be the official handing over of the newly built and fully furnished clinic by the alumni for use by the school and the surrounding community.
Following the clinic’s commissioning, students will participate in entrepreneurship training organized in collaboration with the Lagos State Employment Trust Fund (LSETF), focusing on sectors such as the food industry, ICT, fashion, and entertainment.
“This initiative is aimed at equipping the students with entrepreneurial skills that align with their talents and interests, while also exposing them to available opportunities through LSETF,” Karim stated.
He added that the day’s program will also include lunch with the students, an opportunity for interactive engagement, and reflections on their own school days in Isolo during the early 1970s.
Another scheduled activity is a novelty football match between the current school team and an ‘All Stars’ alumni team, to further foster camaraderie.
The celebrations will continue with a special Jumat service at the Adisa Thomas Central Mosque, Old Secretariat, Ikeja, from 1pm on Friday June 27 to offer thanks to God and honour the memory of deceased members of the set.
Later in the day, a gala night will be held in Marcellina’s Place, 36, Isaac John Street, GRA, Ikeja, from 3pm, featuring awards of recognition to distinguished alumni and the official launch of an endowment fund.
“The purpose of the endowment fund is to ensure the sustainable operation and maintenance of the school clinic, as well as to provide annual bursary awards to the overall best student in each class from JSS 1 to SSS 3,” Karim explained.
He added that notable alumni and prominent Nigerians are expected at the gala to lend their support and contribute to the fund.
Karim fondly recalled that over 100 students enrolled in the college in January 1971 and graduated together in June 1975, forming lifelong friendships and partnerships.
“To the glory of God, we have all gone on to pursue our individual paths, making significant contributions to state and national development across various sectors, including public service, academia, and industry. Sadly, 33 of our colleagues have passed on over the years, and we remember them with prayers and fond memories,” he concluded.
