Iganmode Grammar School Class of 1990 Set for Annual Retreat, Medical Outreach
The Iganmode Grammar School Old Students Association, Class of 1990, is set to hold its annual retreat and reunion on September 12, 2026, at the Ota Recreation Club, GRA, Ota, Ogun State, in an event expected to combine alumni bonding, networking, welfare initiatives and plans for the development of their alma mater.
The annual gathering, according to the President of the association, Dr Olushola Odutola, is designed not only as a reunion for former classmates but also as a platform to strengthen relationships built during their years at Iganmode Grammar School while creating opportunities for members to connect professionally and socially.
Speaking with Newsheadline247, Odutola said the retreat would further strengthen the long-standing relationship among members and provide an avenue for the association to collectively address issues affecting their welfare.
He said the event was “strategically designed to solidify the agelong bond among the members, business, career and social networking and most importantly see to the welfare of members as collective responsibility.”
Beyond the reunion and networking activities, Odutola disclosed that members would deliberate on a proposed project for Iganmode Grammar School, describing the initiative as an opportunity for the 1990 set to give back to the institution that played a significant role in their formative years.
He said the planned intervention was part of the association’s commitment to contributing to the development of the school and giving back to “the school they all loved to have attended.”
The gathering is also expected to have a strong community-welfare component, following a pledge by the Alice Goodwill Foundation, a United States-based non-governmental organisation, to support the event with a medical outreach.
The foundation’s representative in Nigeria, Mrs Adenike Izebe, said the organisation would provide free medical screening and medicines for members of the association and residents of the host community during the event.
Mrs Izebe said the medical intervention was designed to extend the impact of the reunion beyond the alumni community and provide basic healthcare support to people who may not ordinarily have easy access to such services.
She said the Alice Goodwill Foundation was “dedicated to spreading love, care, and dignity to children and seniors,” adding that since 2020, the organisation had worked to create lasting change through compassion-driven outreaches, education and community support.
Speaking further on the foundation’s philosophy, Izebe said, “At Alice Goodwill Foundation, we believe that small acts of kindness can spark meaningful change.”
She explained that through community outreaches, school visits and special events, the foundation seeks to provide care, hope and joy to children and seniors, with each initiative driven by compassion and a desire to make a positive difference in the communities it serves.
Mrs Izebe said the foundation remained committed to improving lives through sustained support and genuine human connection, stressing that its programmes were aimed at creating opportunities that could inspire hope and open doors to a better future.
According to her, the organisation serves children and seniors through outreaches, education and care programmes designed to restore dignity and inspire hope.
“Our work, from school visits to seasonal drives, we create lasting memories and meaningful change across communities,” she said.
The medical outreach at the Iganmode Grammar School Class of 1990 reunion is therefore expected to add a humanitarian dimension to an event primarily organised to reconnect former classmates and strengthen the alumni network.
For the Class of 1990, the September 12 gathering is also an opportunity to reflect on their journey since leaving school, celebrate their collective achievements and identify ways they can contribute to the growth of their alma mater and the wider community.
With the planned school project, member welfare discussions, professional and social networking activities and the medical outreach by the Alice Goodwill Foundation, organisers say the annual retreat will go beyond a conventional alumni reunion to combine friendship, service and community development.
