31 years after leaving the classrooms of Eric Moore High School, Surulere, Lagos, members of the school’s Class of 1995 have returned to their alma mater with a tangible gesture of appreciation, donating a new gate and repainting the school’s perimeter fence.
The project, executed under the auspices of the Eric Moore High School Old Students Association(EMHSOSA) Class of 1995, was formally presented to the school on Friday, as the old students pledged further support for infrastructure and students facing financial difficulties.
Speaking at the ceremony, the association’s President, Mr. Lekan Taiwo, said the intervention was the class’s way of appreciating the institution for the role it played in shaping their lives.
“We are students of this school. We graduated about 31 years ago and we came back to say thank you to the school, and then donated this project to the school,” Taiwo said.
He disclosed that the association was preparing to extend its intervention to students who might struggle to meet the cost of external examinations, particularly registration fees for the National Examinations Council (NECO).
