Celebrations continue tonight at the Intercontinental Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos for #UnilagAlumniAt50.

The creme de la creme of the Nigerian society will be here today.

It’s the Golden Jubilee Awards & Gala Night.

Follow the #thread to be inspired by success.

Distinguished members of @unilagalumni are coming into the ballroom.

Accomplished captains of industry, renowned academics, high-flying professionals and titans in the political arena - all products of the #UniversityofFirstChoice - are all here to catch up on old times.

Now, to some dose of historical knowledge:

The @unilagalumni came into existence in 1969, 4 years after the first 41 graduates of #UnilagNigeria were produced.

The idea for the Association was to have an organization that would embrace generations of the University.

Mr. Kayode Anjorin, a 1966 graduate of Business Administration, assumed office as the 1st National President of the @unilagalumni

The 14th and current President of the Association is Mr. @joomomoh
