The Federal Government College Okigwe Old Students Association (FEGOCOOKOSA) has elected Mr. Peter Chinatu Anyanwu as its new president.
Anyanwu was elected unopposed at an election that was held at Sandralia Hotel Jabi, Abuja, to mark the association’s 12th National Convention with the theme: “Beyond Boundaries.”
Anyanwu, who holds a Doctor of Philosophy Degree (PhD), is a Fellow Certified National Accountant (FCNA) and the Imo State’s representative on the board of Association of National Accountants of Nigeria (ANAN).
In his acceptance speech, he expressed his gratitude to the members for finding him worthy to lead the association and called for their support to enable him to achieve his five point objectives: fostering unity, giving back to the school, mentorship and scholarship, networking and community services.
The excited president of the old students appealed to the other executives and members to share his vision of stronger and more vibrant alumni association.
He said that their alma mater (Federal Government College Okigwe) has been instrumental in shaping their lives and values.
According to him, “as we gather here in the heart of our great nation, let us remember the values we learned at Federal Government College Okigwe – discipline, excellence, and unity. Let these principles guide us as we embark on this journey together.”
The Federal Government College Okigwe is among the unity schools that were founded in 1977.
The old students’ association has been contributing immensely in the development of the school as a way of giving back to their alma mater through building of hostels, provision of street lights, boreholes and reroofing.
