The Alumni Association of the Oyo State College of Nursing and Midwifery Eleyele, Ibadan, Oyo State, has donated a 3.5 KVA solar system and laptops to the school’s library.

The college’s set ‘M’ (1973-1977) Alumni Association made the donation on Friday in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of their admittance to the college.

Chairman of the set, Alhaji Babatunde Ola, said the donation was a token of appreciation to the college which had made them what they are today.

“It is also in a bid to give back to our alma mater,” he said.

Mr Ola appreciated the college’s Provost, Dr Gbonjubola Owolabi, for her understanding and unending support for the association.

In his remarks, the Oyo State Commissioner for Health, Dr Oluwaserimi Ajetunmobi, appreciated the association for its efforts towards moving the college forward.

“We thank you for your unflinching support at all times,” the commissioner, represented by Owolabi, said.

He charged other sets of the college’s graduates to emulate the association’s kind gesture by giving back to their alma mater.

He pledged the state government’s unending support to the college and the entire health sector in the state.
