Warri, Delta State
The Old Students Association of Luminary Secondary School (LUSESC) brought the curtain down on an eventful 2025 with a well-attended Annual General Meeting and End-of-Year Party (AGM/EOYP), reinforcing its commitment to alumni engagement, institutional development, and community impact.
The reunion, held at KFT Place, Ekpan, Delta State, attracted members from different graduating sets who gathered in an atmosphere of elegance and nostalgia, dressed uniformly in white attire symbolizing unity, renewal, and shared vision.
Presiding over the occasion, the National President, Mr. Gabriel Ukuli, described 2025 as a “defining year of consolidation, strategic growth, and purposeful engagement” for the Association. He commended members for their dedication and unwavering belief in the vision of LUSESC.
The event featured a keynote address by Mr. Zion Oshiobuge, who challenged members to sustain their collective drive towards legacy-building initiatives that will strengthen both the alumni body and its alma mater.
One of the highpoints of the Association’s 2025 activities was its outreach initiative in commemoration of World Hygiene Management Day. On May 5, 2025, members visited Luminary Secondary School and Great Faith Nursery/Primary School, both located on Karien Street, Okumagba Layout, Warri. The outreach programme focused on health education, environmental sanitation awareness, and practical demonstrations on proper handwashing techniques.
The initiative underscored LUSESC’s commitment to preventive healthcare advocacy within educational institutions, particularly at a time when hygiene consciousness remains vital in safeguarding young learners. Participants described the intervention as impactful, noting the enthusiasm of pupils and students who actively engaged in the practical sessions.
Earlier in the year, on July 13, 2025, the Association convened its mid-year strategic meeting in Ogunu, near Warri. The gathering provided a platform for introspection, policy dialogue, and forward planning.
Addressing members, Mr. Ukuli emphasized the importance of leveraging alumni networks for professional advancement and collective empowerment.
“We must move beyond nostalgia. Our strength lies in collaboration, shared resources, and deliberate action. Together, we can build an Association that empowers, enriches, and endures,” he stated.
The keynote speaker at the mid-year engagement, Mr. Ugochukwu Ikeraolo, Head of the Advisory Committee (2001 Set), delivered a lecture titled “We Rise By Lifting Us: Alumni, Alliances and the Power of Collective Progress.” He urged members to see the Association not merely as a social platform but as a strategic network capable of unlocking economic opportunities, mentorship pathways, and structured institutional support.
Founded in 2005 with the vision of “Illuminating humanity through morals and standards,” LUSESC has steadily evolved into a structured and forward-looking alumni institution. Its mission — “to create an enabling environment for growth, fostering welfare, unity, and solidarity among members and humanity” — has guided its transformation over the years.
In 2011, the Association expanded into a fully integrated alumni body, broadening its scope and strengthening its governance framework. Its subsequent registration with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) provided legal recognition and reinforced its commitment to transparency, accountability, and structured leadership.
The year 2024 marked a pivotal consolidation phase, ushering in renewed administrative reforms, improved member engagement strategies, and a stronger focus on developmental interventions for Luminary Secondary School.
As 2026 begins, LUSESC has signaled plans to scale up its interventions across Delta State, particularly in the areas of education support, health advocacy, mentorship programmes, and humanitarian outreach.
With a growing membership base, strengthened governance structure, and clearly articulated vision, the Old Students Association of LUSESC stands poised to enter a new era of sustainable impact and strategic relevance within Nigeria’s alumni ecosystem.
