Adeshina said: “We can’t allow 30 years of our graduation from the school to pass unnoticed and uncelebrated. Many of our members have grown in their fields; but don’t forget that they started their tertiary education in this place.
“In this unique set, we have editors of national newspapers, publishers, general managers of radio and television stations, proprietors of broadcast stations, directors in both state and federal ministries, a first class traditional ruler and many outstanding professionals.”
The AMACOG chairman said the association ecognized that such celebration could not be deemed notable without the set giving back to the school through the department.
“We have renovated a television studio in the Mass Communication department and installed modern equipment which will aid the impartation of modern education and practical skills in contemporary media practice to the current and future students,” he said.
Adeshina stated that the one-day event would be rounded off with a dinner on Friday, saying this would allow the old course mates to network and exchange ideas on how to move the association and the department forward.
