Nigerian School's 103rd Anniversary Reunites Grads Worldwide
Baptist Boys' High School in Abeokuta, Nigeria, is celebrating over a century of educating young men with a three-day reunion starting January 22. Former students from around the globe are returning to honor the school's legacy and recognize outstanding alumni.
One of Nigeria's oldest secondary schools is bringing together graduates from across generations to celebrate 103 years of shaping young lives.
Baptist Boys' High School in Abeokuta has invited former students worldwide to return for its 103rd Founders' Day Anniversary from January 22 to 24. The school has been a cornerstone of education in Nigeria since 1923, nurturing thousands of students who've gone on to leadership roles across the country and beyond.
The celebration kicks off with a presidential luncheon on January 22, featuring former Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola as guest speaker. His participation highlights the caliber of leaders the school has produced over more than a century.
On January 23, alumni will gather at the Agora Ground for an informal evening designed to rebuild connections between classmates who may not have seen each other in decades. Each graduating class gets a complimentary table, encouraging everyone to participate regardless of financial means.
The main event on January 24 starts with a morning thanksgiving service, followed by a national congress where alumni can discuss the school's future. The day culminates with an anniversary luncheon honoring exceptional graduates.
The Ripple Effect
This isn't just about nostalgia. The school's National Executive Council is using the reunion to strengthen global networks of alumni who can mentor current students and support the school's continued excellence.
The Distinguished Old Boy of the Year 2025 Award and Merit Awards will recognize graduates who've made significant contributions to their communities. New inductees to the BBHS Wall of Fame 2026 will inspire current students by showing what's possible with hard work and dedication.
These multi-generational gatherings create mentorship opportunities that extend far beyond the three-day event. Young graduates connect with established professionals, opening doors for career guidance and community development projects across Nigeria.
A century of education continues to bear fruit in new ways.
