County Grammar School, Ikwerre-Etche Old Boys Association Holds Quarterly Congress

In its bid to ensure higher standard of education in Rivers State and promote the welfare of her members, the Old Boys Association of County Grammar School, Ikwerre-Etche, Rivers State, is set to hold its first quarterly Congress in Port Harcourt.

The association disclosed this on Thursday, June 5, 2025 via a statement jointly signed by its National President; Bekwele Wabara, Chairman, Main Organising Committee; Dr. Edwin Ojirika, and Chairman, Media and Publicity Sub-Committee, Celestine Ogolo, and made available to newsmen in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

The statement revealed that this first quarterly Congress, which holds on Sunday, June 8, 2025, at Fomida Event Centre in Port Harcourt, would have a roundtable discussion on educational development in Rivers State and Nigeria.

The central discussion would, however, centre on the role of the Old Boys Association in uplifting the infrastructural and academic profile of the revered institution.

Furthermore, the quarterly Congress would afford the Old Boys the opportunity to appraise the various measures highlighted during the very successful national convention of the association held in November last year.

The association urged all Old Boys of the institution to turn out enmasse for the Congress, which commences by 3pm on Sunday.

It would be recalled that County Grammar School, Ikwerre-Etche, established in 1957, has produced high-quality manpower in every sector of endeavour who has contributed to the development of the State and nation.

The Old Boys Association, which hosted its very first national convention last year, has continued to contribute immensely to the infrastructural development of the school, which was adjudged the best public school in Nigeria by the Federal Government in 2007.
