When Kuramo Old Students Honoured their Colleagues
It was an honour well deserved when members of the Kuramo College Old Students Association (KCOSA) decided to come together recently to acknowledge a couple of their colleagues who had made not just the association proud but their alma mater as a whole..
The occasion was the formal reception in honour of their colleagues, Mrs Bridget Iwinose Gold who was recently appointed the Director, Legal Services, Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) and Mr. Johnny Ungwugwaye Agim, who was also recently made a Senior Advocate of Nigeria( SAN ). Speaking during the event, K CO SA President, Felix Uweribeno said, “We have come herein support of progress and this is not just for Johnny and Bridget whom we are honour ing today as legal luminaries but for the glory of the entire school and members of KCOSA worldwide.”
“Nothing good comes without commitment and today we see a defining example of how this commitment yields fruits by way of accomplishments and resounding acknowledgement by the accolades that must follow on the heels of any great achievement. And this is a moment when our Association must take as a sacred duty to honour those whom honour is due.”
Uweribeno explained that the duo were honoured because they had distinguished themselves in their profession sand the process has brought honour to the school and this the association was so proud of.
“And in a time when our society has a penchant for honouring mediocrity, we have the privilege to celebrate at this level of accomplishment, standing for quality and authenticity and having the hallmarks of the true value of hard work and integrity. These are things our school installed in us growing up and we are glad their instruction has paid off “, the KCOSA president noted.
While congratulating the honourees, the Chairman BOT of KCOSA, Pastor Francis Njoku, said, “I desire to see a more united and stronger KCOSA here in Nigeria and the diaspora. I want to hear of the exploits Of KCOSA members here in the county and in the diaspora. I know that God who has started it will continue to bring it to pass. We have come a long way; we have crossed so many waters and here we are today celebrating one another and we will continue to celebrate .”
Responding, one of the honourees, Mr Johnny Ungwugwaye Agim (SAN), said, “First I must say that I am elated and I lack the words to explain my feelings right now. I believe it is worth celebrating not just because I am a SAN today but as something that is a huge achievement for myself and the school.
