Umo Eno, Executive Governor of Akwa Ibom State, reunited with his classmates of the Victory High School Old Students’ Association (1981 set) at their special quarterly meeting in Lagos.
The Governor, who was made the Grand Patron of their Association, “strongly” believes that, himself alongside others whom God has elevated must, in turn, be supportive in the growth of “our schools and educational institutions”.
Eno also believes, education is the “greatest gift” we can give the next generation.
Taking to X, Governor Eno said: “I reunited with my classmates of the Victory High School Old Students’ Association (1981 set) at our special quarterly meeting in Ikeja, Lagos yesterday. Stepping back into the halls that shaped me was humbling, and I’m deeply honoured to be named Grand Patron of our association.
“I reminded my classmates that our alma mater played a crucial role in shaping us into who we are today. I believe strongly that those of us whom God has lifted must, in turn, support the growth of our schools and educational institutions.
“In Akwa Ibom, we’re already building model primary schools across the state and model secondary schools in each senatorial district to ensure our children receive sound, qualitative education.
“I thank my old classmates for their love and support, especially during the elections and the passing of my wife. Education remains the greatest gift we can give the next generation, and together, we must continue to give back to the schools that gave us so much.”
