The Imade College Owo Old Students Association is a body of loyal and dedicated alumni of this great college founded about fifty years ago. Members of the Association have, at one time or the other, passed through the gates of the college and have benefited from the opportunities available in this pioneer educational institution in Owo Division.

These people are familiar with the tradition of the school, they know where the shoe pinches, they are ready to take up the challenge of enhancing the quality of education in their Alma Mata and they spend considerable money,energy and time to achieve laudable goals for their Alma Mata.

A few students who left Imade College (since the first set came out in 1952) and were working in towns such as Zaria, lbadan, Lagos, Benin, Akure and Owo, to mention a few, started to establish branches of “The Old Students Association” in their various locations at different times.These branches brought together old students who resided in their environment and the opportunity of meetings encouraged joint social lives and consideration of the goings-on in their Alma Mata.

Members of year-sets also organized themselves, regardless of their locations or place of work, to maintain the old link and ultimately to relate to the college. For example, each of the 1956, 1957, 1960 and 1962 sets had returned to the college to celebrate the Silver Jubilee Anniversaries of their leaving the college and had made significant contributions during such festivities.

The excitements and joy derived during these returns to college after twenty-five years had been fantastic and memorable. The “MOTTO” of the College -“Omnia Viriliter Fac” meaning “In all things, be a man” has always been very inspiring and encouraging to all alumni as they go through hardships and tribulations to success and achievements.

The national body of the old students association was、launched on 20th March, 1971 during the celebrations of the silver jubilee anniversary of the establishment of Imade College. The first elected officers/members of the executive were the following:
resident – Revd. Z. Akindumila (then Mr.)-President,  High Chief J. Ayo Akintoba (then Mr.)tst Vice President
2nd Vice President – Mr. B. Makun (late)
General Secretary – Dr. Roland Agidee
Asst. General Secretary – Mr. O. Agbede
Treasurer – Mr. Bob Adeloye
Financial Secretary – Mr. J.B. Alakuro
Publicity Secretary – Mr. E. Adekunle
Social Secretary – Mr. J.M. Ogunmola (late)
Legal Advisers Hon. Justice S.F. Adeloye (then Mr.)

Unofficial Members – Prof. D.A. Ijalaiye
– Chief S.M. Olakunri SAN (then Mr.)
– Mr. Olu Daramola

It would be false to assume that the association has grown smoothly without difficulties since it was founded. Some of the problems that had beset it are:
(a) inactive executive and non-functional secretariat at the take off;
(b) non-attendance of meetings by a large number of old students;
(c) inadequate funds to execute projects speedily.
These problems are addressed and the strategies for continued success considered from time to time. However, the Ondo State Branch of the Association stands as the executing arm and rallying point for all other branches.
