Seventeen out of the eighteen members of world executive officers of Merchants of Light School Oba Old Boys Association have been returned to man the affairs of the association for the next three years, while a new member, Mr Chinedu Obuekwe was appointed to serve as the Treasurer of the association since the former Treasurer stepped down on account of old age.
These featured during the association’s Annual General Meeting after the Founders Day, 2026 Biennial Convention, and the eightieth anniversary celebration of the school held in the school hall.
The World President of the association, Professor Tony Nwokoye said that they were disappointed with the dilapidated state they met the school, and are committed to take ownership of the school which they are already doing by donating millions of naira, adding that they are already renovating the buildings.
In their presentations, two members of the association, Professor Mike Onyekonwu who spoke on “MOLS OBA: Eighty Years Shining The Light”, and Professor Azikiwe Onwualu who went down memory lane on how they fared during their time in the school, said that parents trusted the school because of high academic standards, noting that as merchants of light, they should always carry the light the school has been known for since inception.
