Addressing journalists, Akpomudje said: “It is one of the first schools in Delta State that we are very proud of because the school is very unique.

It is like a cult, once you enter and come out of it, you must have likeness for the great school. “The first celebration for the school was in 1975, when it celebrated silver jubilee, then golden jubilee and then 70th anniversary celebration.

“And that is why we are taking this 80th anniversary celebration coming up on 15th to 17th January, 2025. Old boys from overseas and within Nigeria are looking forward to attending the celebration.”
