On a beautiful Saturday, May 18, 2024, the FPI (UK) Alumni Chapter came alive with the vibrant energy of camaraderie, as the majority of our alumni, along with their families and friends, gathered for the much-anticipated Alumni Get-Together celebration. The event was a perfect blend of nostalgia, joy, and the forging of new connections, as we reminisced about our shared experiences at The Federal Polytechnic Ilaro (FPI) and celebrated the bonds that have endured over the years.

As the alumni arrived at the venue, the atmosphere was charged with excitement and warmth. Old friends greeted each other with enthusiasm, family members were introduced, and acquaintances were renewed. It was a day to rekindle memories of our days at FPI, to laugh about shared experiences, and to catch up on the journeys we have all taken since those formative years. The event provided a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our shared heritage and to reconnect with the people who have been an important part of our lives.

The celebration was brought to life by the fantastic musical talents of DJ Idowu, who kept the energy high with a perfect mix of tunes that had everyone on their feet. The dance floor was alive with beautiful dance moves, as friends and family members joined in the fun, showcasing their talents and enjoying the infectious rhythm of the music. The lively competitions added an extra layer of excitement to the day, with participants showing off their skills and winning prizes amidst cheers and applause.

The culinary offerings were a highlight of the event, with a wide variety of delectable dishes and beverages available for everyone to enjoy. The menu featured a delightful mix of traditional and contemporary flavors, satisfying every palate and adding to the overall enjoyment of the day. The food and drinks provided a perfect accompaniment to the lively conversations and shared laughter that filled the room.

In addition to the FPI (UK) alumni, the event was graced by the presence of other former Ilaro graduates from different regions of the United Kingdom. These guests were warmly welcomed by the current Alumni members, who took the opportunity to introduce them to the background and benefits of the FPI (UK) Alumni Chapter. The event served as a platform to invite these graduates to join our Alumni Chapter, encouraging them to become active members so that we can work together for the betterment of our Alma Mater and for the benefit of all members.

The success of the event was a testament to the hard work, dedication, and collaboration of everyone involved in its planning and execution. We are deeply appreciative of the time, effort, and commitment that each person contributed to making the FPI (UK) Alumni Get-Together a memorable occasion. The event not only strengthened our bonds but also laid the foundation for future collaborations and gatherings.

As we look back on the celebration with fond memories, we are filled with anticipation for our upcoming events. The FPI (UK) Alumni Chapter is more than just a group of former students; it is a community bound by shared experiences, mutual respect, and a collective desire to contribute positively to our Alma Mater and to each other’s lives. We eagerly look forward to the next opportunity to come together, to celebrate our achievements, and to continue building on the legacy of The Federal Polytechnic Ilaro.
