The Ansar-Ud-Deen Momodu College Old Students’ Association (AMCOSA), Agbede, Etsako West Local Government Area (LGA) of Edo, has handed over three laboratories to the school.
At Tuesday’s handing-over, the association’s president, Mr Kabiru Musa, said the laboratories, for Chemistry, Physic and Biology practicals, were all equipped with modern facilities.
Musa added that N10 million was spent on building and equipping the laboratories, including the school’s perimeter fencing.
“The association re-established the laboratories to meet the immediate and mandatory needs of the school against the exaggerated expectations of people.
“We are one big family, united by the enormous love of our alma mater and the urgent need to rewrite the once glorious history.
“The ultimate goal of salvaging the ailing fortunes of the school is the need that ought to justify the means,” Musa said.
While commending all the members for their financial and spiritual support, Musa called for more.
He disclosed that the school urgently needed water and toilets, including renovating two classroom blocks.
He, however, frowned at the inability of the school’s authority to protect some of the association’s projects in the school.
In his remarks, the Chairman of Etsako West LGA, Marvelous Zibiri, said setting up such significant projects revealed the old students valued their roots.
“Your positive impact in making teaching and learning meaningful and purposeful will make the present students in the school work hard.
“It will be an inspiration to the students to learn to be greater achievers because you can only give what you have,” Zibiri said. (NAN)
