In its bid to ensure higher standard of education in Rivers State and promote the welfare of her members, the Old Boys Association of County Grammar School, Ikwerre-Etche, Rivers State, is set to hold its second quarterly Congress in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
According to a press statement signed by the National President of the association, Venerable Bekwele Wabara(Rtd), this second quarterly Congress, which holds on Sunday, September 28, 2025, at Fomida Event Centre in Port Harcourt, would have a roundtable discussion on educational development in Rivers State and Nigeria. The central discussion would, however, revolve around the role of the Old Boys Association in uplifting the infrastructural and academic profile of the revered institution.
Furthermore, the quarterly Congress would afford the Old Boys the opportunity to appraise the various measures highlighted during the very successful national convention of the association held last year, and deliberate on the report of the election planning Committee, amongst other important issues.
The press statement, which was also jointly signed by the Chairman of the National Conngress Organising Committee, Dr. Edwin Ojirika and Professor Opuda Ekine, Chairman of the 1978 Set, hosts of the Congress, urged all Old Boys of the institution to turn out enmasse for the Congress, which commences by 1pm on Sunday.
It would be recalled that County Grammar School, Ikwerre-Etche, established in 1957, has produced high-quality manpower in every sector of endeavour who has contributed to the development of the State and nation.
The Old Boys Association, which hosted its very first national convention last year, has continued to contribute immensely to the infrastructural development of the school.
