A former President of the Nigeria Cricket Federation and alumnus of St. Gregory’s College, Dr. John Abebe, has donated cricket equipment to the college as part of efforts to revive the institution’s rich sporting tradition and reposition it as a centre for cricket development.

The donation was formally made on Sunday during an event held at the school premises, where alumni, students, school officials, and cricket stakeholders gathered to launch a renewed drive for sports development in the college.

Speaking at the event, President of the Old Boys Association, Francis Oluwole Kudayah, said the initiative formed part of broader efforts to restore sporting excellence in the school, which was historically renowned for producing notable athletes and sportsmen.
