During the sermon marking the occasion, Reverend Apostolic Mother Atinuke Olaosegba in her words of exhortation, rejoiced with the old students for deeming it fit to come before Almighty God to say thank you lord, as much as deciding to give back to their alma mater which has moulded their lives to become somebody.
