According to a statement released on Sunday, the meeting served as a pivotal moment for the alumni network, allowing members to assess progress and outline a strategic vision for the coming years.
A major development highlighted during the gathering was the association’s official registration with the Corporate Affairs Commission, formally recognising it as a legal entity under the Federal Government of Nigeria.
