Education and further education are achievements and experiences that will shape the life of a person and can take different shapes some drop out after JSS some after SSS other continue their education and finish the Poly technic or University. One of the most respected forms of Education is a degree of a University. Having finished University is considered one of the highest educational honours a person can achieve. The long time and way needed to finish as the highest product education has to offer brings people closer and connects them in a very deep relationship to their alma mater, a relationship, which will remain a lifetime like marriage. Some of the alumni are so committed to their alma mater that they form organisation to serve their alma mater even after graduation. They have constant meetings and try to contribute.
