FGCSokoto Old Boy Honoured by President Yar'Adua |
|
|
|
 Federal Government College Sokoto Worldwide Alumni would like to congratulate Air Marshall Seyi Petinrin on his recent appointment as Chief of Air Staff.
Air Marshall Seyi Petinrin was a student of Federal Governemtn College, Sokoto for five years from 1967 to 1971 and was in Niger house (contrary to some reports in the media that he spent his secondary school years elsewhere).
From his enlistment in the Nigerian Defence Academy (1974) to date, Air Marshall Petinrin has had a distiguished and honourable career in the Nigerian Air Force. Air Marshall Petinrin had previously held the position of Air Officer Commanding Nigeria Air Force Training Command, Kaduna.
We certainly wish him all the best in this new appointment and pray that the Almighty will grant him the wisdom and strength to lead our Air Defence forces to greater heights. |

CURRENT PROJECTS.
1 - BOOK AID SCHEME
- Every member is required to donate at least two books, not necessarily brand new, at every meeting.
- At the end of the year all the donated books are freighted to the school library.
- Books can be purchased from second-hand bookshops, local libraries or high street charity shops. Please note that non-literary novels or over-age books will not be accepted into the ‘book aid scheme’ because of possible adult content and the astronomical cost of freighting.
- Our annual target is 120 books.
