Government Secondary School (GSS), Kubwa, one of many under the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Secondary Education Board (SEB), has received a generous donation from its 2004 alumni aimed at improving sanitation and supporting indigent students.
The donation, which comprised 15 50-litre trash bins, was officially presented to the school by Mr. Ifeanyi Pius on behalf of the alumni.
Receiving the items, the Director/Principal of GSS Kubwa, Dr. Anderson Kolawole Oseh, expressed heartfelt appreciation for the gesture.
He described the donation as timely and impactful, noting that it would significantly enhance sanitation efforts within the school and foster a culture of cleanliness and environmental responsibility among students and staff.
He said that the thoughtful donation reflects a commendable sense of responsibility and alma mater pride, adding that it serves as a model of alumni engagement even as the school look forward to more fruitful partnerships that support educational development and sustainability.
Speaking during the presentation, Mr. Pius emphasized the importance of giving back to their alma mater, acknowledging the role GSS Kubwa played in shaping their moral and academic foundation.
He explained that a clean and conducive learning environment is critical for both teaching and learning, hence
giving back, even in our small way, was “the least we can do to show appreciation and we will never forget our roots.”
Mr. Pius also encouraged the students to stay focused on their academics, uphold good character, and work hard to become proud ambassadors of the school.
In their various responses, the students, who were visibly excited, expressed gratitude to the 2004 alumni and pledged to ensure proper usage and maintenance of the donated trash bins.
In a related development and laudable initiative, the same alumni group also paid the school fees and Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) levies for 30 students in the recently concluded second term academic session, demonstrating the group’s commitment to giving back and supporting access to education.
