Government Secondary School (GSS) Bwari in the Federal Capital Territory has celebrated its 45th anniversary, with the school's principal, Mrs Nkoli Okedo, commending FCT Minister Nyesom Wike for the ongoing massive renovation of schools across the territory. Okedo praised the minister for giving a new face to schools long abandoned by previous administrations. She also expressed gratitude to the FCT Education Secretariat's Mandate Secretary, Dr Danlami Hayyo. The week-long celebration included a thanksgiving service, medical outreach, quiz competitions, and the launch of an Alumni Support Initiative.
Key Points
- Students in Bwari benefit from improved learning environments after years of neglect.
- The FCT minister's education focus earns public recognition from school administrators.
- Alumni reconnect and pledge support, strengthening the school's development prospects.
- Calls for smart boards, e-libraries, and school buses highlight remaining infrastructure gaps.
- The celebration models how older Nigerian schools can mobilise community and alumni support.
Watch whether Wike's renovation programme extends to more FCT schools and if GSS Bwari's alumni deliver on their pledged support.
