In a grand style, Oriwu College, Ikorodu, Lagos, last weekend, rolled out its drums to mark the 75th anniversary of the school. 

To the old students, the occasion didn’t only bring back memories of past decades, but also evoked many reminiscences of pleasant experiences during their stay in the school.
 
In his address, the Chairman, Board of Trustees of Oriwu College Old Students Association of Nigeria (OCOSAN), Chief Mutiu Owolabi Ishola Lemomu, said the school started very small, from one private building to another, until an expansive, suitable one was found and secured.

Together, we will continue to build upon the foundation laid by our predecessors, ensuring Oriwu College remains a bastion of knowledge, innovation, and inclusivity.”
