The donation was done as part of the association's efforts to give back to the school and improve the learning environment for current and future students. It also was carried out to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the 93 set students, who graced the school premises in one accord on the 6th of July 2023. Aimed at giving back, the solar-powered lights, in a collective stance by the 93-Set, will improve security on the school's campus and provide a safer environment for students and staff. In a brief handing-over ceremony before the project's entrusting, the chairman of the 93-Set, Prince Daniel Ekiyoyo, said that the assistance was done to make the school security active and safe for students. According to him, the project will embellish the school, making it environmentally receptive. Summarising the undertaking, Prince Daniel explained, "To increase the usage of clean and green energy, We provided Solar street lights from the school gate straight down the Red line, Solar lights on a section of road between assembly hall and hostel (Green line)". "Also, we donated Solar lights to the Administrative Block (Blue line), Solar lights for phase 4, 6FT X 4FT Signboard with a map of the school and directions installed by the main gate". "Not to forget that we worked out the installation of Reflectors and Painting of Poles". "It is one thing to have a Dream, it is another thing to Materialize. Going by the global economic situation, it would have been an impossible task, but for the resilience and determination of our noble 1993 Set, we all resolved that this mission must be attained". "Our experience on this project was challenging, but we thank the Almighty God for seeing us through. A humongous thanks to the GCI 93 Set 30 Years Re-Union Steering Committee for the fantastic job done in executing this Project. Kudos once again to the Executives & Members of GCIOSA for the invaluable network of resources made available to us". "For the current Students of both Colleges: we encourage you to always have the mind to give back to Society and go on in life". "We finished this School 30 years ago, and we want to impact the life of the current Students. Similarly, some other people many years ago had built this School and impacted our lives. Life is a chain, always remember to create paths and opportunities for those coming behind you". "Conclusively, I will like to appreciate and thank everyone that has supported us in this journey of landmark service to humanity". "You are all amazing! I feel proud of our collective achievement as a team, I feel proud to be reunited with you all, and the memory we shared during this project will form a strong bond for us for now and in the future" "I will not end this speech without appreciating the Executive Governor of Lagos State, His Excellency, Mr Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, for prioritising Education, also the efforts of Mrs Anike Adekanye, Tutor-General and Permanent Secretary of Education District 2, Lagos State Ministry of Education, Principals and staffs of GCI" Prince Daniel added. In a complementary step, Senator Adetokunbo Abiru, representing the Lagos East Senatorial District, applauded the 93-Set for their dedication and commitment to repaying her alma mater. Senator Abiru, who was represented by his media aid, Mr Enitan Olukotun, illustrated that the old students deserve all the praise for their efforts to better the school during a period when things are hard economically. Hailing their sense of generosity, Mr Enitan said the project execution reflects the passion Senator Abiru also shares to better the lives of his constituents across the Lagos East. President of the Government College Ikorodu old students association, Mr Ademola Somide in his speech, said that the project drives to show how focused the associations have been, in ensuring unity of purpose in the development of the structures of the school and the well-being of the students. According to him, with the actualisation of the project, one can now safely move to classes for night prep, or even do some extra reading without the fear of knocking feet, stepping into wet areas of the road, or the fear that someone may be lurking around unidentified. Talking to the students in attendance, he said, "By the commissioning of this project, your reading and learning environment is being enhanced, and you are only expected to reciprocate by engaging in more extra studies and getting better results". "It's also for you to keep in memory, that someday in future you will complete your studies, and move on to become different people in life. But whatever you become, you must remember to give back to your source (alma mater)". "And that's why we have the Government College Ikorodu Old Students Association, which is an easy vehicle for doing this. Even as students of higher institutions, you have a space amongst us" he asserted. Mr Ademola directed his remarks to the School Management, stating that though the institution is segregated into Junior Secondary and Senior Secondary schools, with each operating independently under separate administrators, it should still be acknowledged as 'Our School'. Congratulating the 93 set for successfully delivering the project on the occasion of their 30th anniversary of leaving Government College Ikorodu, Mr Ademola charged the old students, explaining that together, they are stronger in doing greater things to the benefit of our alma mater. "Thank you for working with the project committee in the deliverance of this standard project. We trust you will, as you must have been informed, keep an eye after this delivery to ensure that this lightning project remains alive and keeps serving its purpose for years to come" he concluded. The project was subsequently commissioned by Mr Enitan Olukotun, on behalf of the distinguished Senator Adetokunbo Abiru.

ADEBOLA AKIN-BRIGHT: LAGOS ASSEMBLY REVEALS MORE ABOUT DOCTOR WHO PERFORMED SURGERY, WRITES POLICE COMMISSIONER, COMMITTEE BROADENS INVESTIGATION ®™√ INN Nigeria © img 20230922 wa00194052512174661337085 The chairman of the Lagos Assembly ad-hoc committee with the mandate to investigate the circumstances that led to the disappearance of Adebola Akin-Bright's small intestine, Hon. Noheem Adams, has told his colleagues that the doctor who performed surgery twice on the boy is not a qualified surgeon. This is as the Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, during plenary on Thursday, directed the Clerk, Barr. Olalekan Onafeko, to write to the State police command for the arrest of Dr. Abayomi Baiyewu of Obitoks Hospital in the Alimosho area of Lagos. Adebola died on Tuesday shortly after the House called on Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to further assist him seek treatment abroad. While thanking Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for his effort at the period the boy was being treated at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Speaker Obasa directed that a letter conveying the condolence message of the House be sent to the family. Dr. Obasa further asked the committee to look into other grey areas including inviting officials of the Health Facility Monitoring and Accreditation Agency (HEFAMAA) which has the law-backed responsibility to monitor private hospitals operating in the State. The Speaker further asked the committee to review the extant law so as to know if it should be amended just as he said private hospitals can be made to always report their activities to the government at all times. Formally announcing Adebola's death, Hon. Adams said the boy's case was disheartening. He said when the committee visited him on Tuesday, he still spoke with the lawmakers. He, however, said during investigation, the committee learnt from Dr. Baiyewu that he is not a surgeon but only relied on his experience as a medical doctor. He also said Baiyewu, whose testimonies were recorded, told the committee that he did not carry out any medical examination on the boy before the first surgery which he did himself adding that he only relied on the report from a hospital the patient was first taken to. Noheem said after Baiyewu did the first surgery, the boy continued to complain about stomach pain and was taken back to Obitoks Hospital where Baiyewu carried out another round of surgery by himself. Following more complications, Hon. Noheem said the boy was taken to LASUTH where it was confirmed that part of his intestine was missing. The lawmaker said as a doctor, Baiyewu should have taken the excised part of the boy's body to a pathological department for test, but that "Dr. Baiyewu told the committee that the body parts were mistakenly discarded," and that the doctor had planned to do a third surgery before the boy was taken to LASUTH. After Noheem's submission, the House commiserated with the bereaved family with Deputy Speaker Mojisola Meranda calling for the sealing of the hospital. Another member of the committee, Hon. Lawal Aina, told his colleagues it was a pitiable sight when the committee visited Adebola at the hospital. He added that upon interrogation, it was discovered that Dr. Baiyewu proved not to have been a certified surgeon. Some of the lawmakers who spoke on the issue, suggested that a formal complaint be made against Dr. Baiyewu to the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria for action while others urged stricter monitoring of medical doctors and hospitals.
