A statement by the bank on Friday stated that the building, which had a large multipurpose hall, also housed an information technology centre and numerous offices for the use of the alumni association.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony of the building, the Executive Director, Commercial Banking and Public Sector, Skye Bank, Mr. Gbenga Ademulegun, said the bank embarked on the project as a way of discharging its social responsibility to the community where it operated.
He commended the association for conceiving the idea of leaving behind a worthy legacy to the college and enjoined other alumni associations to emulate the example.
Ademulegun assured the association of the bank’s continued support , noting that such complementary efforts from alumni bodies would assist in lifting standards in institutions of higher learning across the country.
The Rector of the school, Dr. Magareth Ladipo, commended the bank for responding to the plea of the association in helping to develop the school by financing the big edifice.
She urged other corporate organisations to follow the Skye Bank example by offering a helping hand to higher institutions in the country as government alone could not fund education.
The President of the alumni association, Chief Emmanuel Unachukwu, said the association chose to honour their alma mater by constructing the edifice to ameliorate the infrastructural challenges facing the institution.
He expressed his gratitude to Skye Bank for funding the project, saying the association’s accomplishments in developing the school were in great part due to the support of the bank
