According to him, apart from the project presentation to the Department of Mass Communication which is their alumni department, on Friday, the three-day event will also feature series of programmes such as lectures for students of Mass Communication with the ace broadcaster, Mr Olusesan Ekisola as the Guest Speaker, and reenactment of classroom activities by AMACOS ’95 members.

Other activities lined up for the anniversary, according to the statement, include a visit to orphanage home at Stella Obasanjo Children’s Home, Abeokuta; visit to Olumo Rock and grand finale on Saturday night featuring Award Ceremony and Unveiling of the AMACOS ’95 Year Book at the Park Inn Hotel, IBB Boulevard, Kuto, Abeokuta.

Mr Salau, who is also the Chairman, Publicity Committee of the 25th Anniversary, said that the AMACOS ’95 Year Book, published by the Association, would be unveiled by the Ogun State Commissioner for Information, Alhaji (Hon) Waheed Odusile, who will be the Special Guest of Honour at the Dinner/Award Night.

The AMACOS ’95 PRO assured that with the arrangements already put in place by the Anniversary Committee, the event is going to be historic, epic and momentous.

He said, “Our 25th Anniversary promises to be an eventful one. Apart from providing an opportunity for us to recognise some of our lecturers and also give back to our Alma mater, especially the Department of Mass Communication, which is our alumni department, the Anniversary event will serve as a great reunion for members of the Association across the world who have not seen one another for the past 25 years.

“Old faces shall see again. Old friends shall meet again. The big daddies and mummies shall have the opportunity to reenact the fond memories of the past.

“No doubt, our 25th Anniversary is going to be august and golden! It is going to be more than just an anniversary, but a melting pot for big daddies and mummies who, 25 years ago, parted ways only to meet again in the same Rock City!”
