The 1979 set of Government Secondary School, Ilorin in Kwara State has
donated a solar panel worth N150m to its alma mater.
The solar panel, according to the Chairman of 1979 set, Alhaji Adebayo
Idiaro, will guarantee the 105-year- old school constant electricity.
The 1979 set, which is marking its 40th year anniversary, also on
Friday donated tennis and badminton courts to the school. The group
also honoured some of their former teachers.
Speaking during the presentation, Idiaro said they decided to help the
school “as a way of giving back to the school which has trained them
to become who we are today”.
He said, “We are doing all these to assist the school and the
government because they believe that the government cannot do all the
things needed by the school.”
Idiaro, however, appealed to the school management to take care of the
materials, adding that they would continue to supply the school with
tennis and badminton racquets.
He said that the tennis and badminton courts were donated in honour of
Major General Olusegun Adeleke, a member of the set, who had just
retired from the military.
