GCIOBA Ibadan Branch 2015 Annual Luncheon Committee Chairman's Speech
MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN, PLANNING COMMITTEE OF THE GCIOBA IBADAN BRANCH 2015 ANNUAL GET-TOGETHER HELD ON
SUNDAY, 30TH OF AUGUST, 2015 AT FELICIA HALL, JOGOR CENTRE, OFF OLD LIBERTY STADIUM ROAD, IBADAN.
The President of the Association, the Chairman of the Branch, Old Boys, our amiable Young Girls and invited guests, I welcome you all to this year’s Annual Get-Together of Government College Old Boys’ Association, Ibadan Branch.
I give God Almighty the glory for making all of us see today. Just like yesterday, the last year’s event had come and gone, it was tagged “A day of Reminiscences”.
This year, as a committee, we felt it was time to honour our Young Girls; they have not only supported us over the years, they have tolerated and in some cases made sacrifices just to make sure that we are happy and that we are what we are today. This year’s event is tagged “An afternoon with our Young Girls”. So to the Young Girls, it is your afternoon.
A drama titled “Ajantala”, one of the works of Sowande (1962) would be staged to appreciate our mothers and by extension our Young Girls. I will implore us all to concentrate while the drama is being staged because of the lessons therein.
While thanking the Chairman and members of the executive, on behalf of my committee for this opportunity to serve GCI once again with pride. I remain grateful to my committee members for their commitment to the success of today. I also wish to appreciate all the people and organizations that supported this programme in one form or the other. I pray that the Almighty God will continue to strengthen us and provide for us all, Amen.
Like I said last year. The onus still lies on us as Old Boys to revamp our aging legacy, our collective heritage, our Government College, Ibadan. I see passion on the faces of Old Boys each time I mention GCI, let me assure you all that all hopes are not lost, the ultimate result of our efforts shall come sooner than later.
As it has now become the tradition after every year’s Get-together of the Branch, I look forward to the Chairman’s dinner with my committee members and our Young Girls in a not distant time.
Please sit down and enjoy your afternoon with us, it is fun packed.
Thank you all.
FEMI BABALOLA (3114) FNSE, FINHE,
Chairman, Planning Committee,
1975 Set.
