The Igbobi College Old Boys Association (ICOBA) has elected Yomi Badejo-Okusanya as its 12th President, after serving as the immediate first Vice-President.

Speaking shortly after his election in Lagos, Badejo-Okusanya pledged to engage in six key pillars that would set the path for its leadership over the next two years.

Among the key pillars of his vision are building a formidable ICOBA endowment fund that delivers real and lasting impact; drive significant improvements in the college’s infrastructure and assets; facilitate the construction of a new hostel for Parker House. Others are to significantly enhance students’ welfare and school experience, project the Igbobi College brand more effectively, locally and globally and foster a cohesive, inclusive, and purpose-driven ICOBA for the benefit of all members.

“In summary, I have only one assignment as the 12th President of ICOBA: To leave this association better than it was handed to me,” stated Badejo-Okusanya.

He charged the owners of the college to reciprocate the old boys’ efforts “by massively re-investing in Igbobi College.

“The future of this great institution cannot and must not be left to ICOBA alone. Only through this shared responsibility can we rebuild the Igbobi College of our dreams and restore its full glory.

“To the staff and especially the students of our great alma mater: You will continue to feel the tangible impact of ICOBA’s contributions. We owe you that – because without students, there is no college; and without a college, there is no ICOBA,” added Badejo-Okusanya.
