The Visionary Who Started It All

It all began with Alaran Bunmi, our revered Pioneer President — a man driven by memory, purpose, and an unshakable belief in the power of shared history.

He reached across time and distance — reconnecting classmates who had been scattered by life, careers, continents, and responsibilities.

As responses poured in, something remarkable happened. Familiar names reappeared. Laughter returned. Stories were shared. A sense of belonging was restored.

One message. One vision. A lifelong bond restored.

Building the Foundation

The WhatsApp group quickly became our heartbeat — laughter, support, planning, and purpose.

Through consistent leadership, trust was built and participation grew, turning nostalgia into action.

Together, the groundwork for something enduring was laid.
