A message from the President

On behalf of the Executive Committee (EXCO) and all members of the Imade College Old Students Association (IMACOSA), I warmly congratulate the students, staff and management of Imade College, Owo, on this remarkable milestone of 80 years of academic excellence, character building and service to society.

I also extend heartfelt congratulations to all alumni of this great institution, whose lives have been shaped by the school’s enduring values, education and formative influence. We celebrate not only the knowledge and character imparted by the College but also the lifelong friendships, enduring relationships and invaluable networks forged within its walls and sustained over the decades.

As we commemorate this historic milestone, we are reminded of our shared heritage, our collective achievements and our responsibility to preserve and advance the legacy of our beloved institution for generations to come. Omnia Viriliter Fac.
