“Our school has continued to maintain the lead in academics as well as in various extra-curricular endeavours.
” Our Old boys are doing very well and they are scattered both home and abroad making us proud over the last 117 years.
” The school has also been able to deliver matchless excellence in academics, sports and even arts. Oduntan appreciated all old boys’ home and abroad for their unflinching support in building the school.
“From North America to the UK and Ireland; from Lagos to Abeokuta to Ibadan and Abuja, we have gotten a strong alumni base that has continually given their finances to keep the school on the path of academic excellence.”
Abeokuta Grammar School was established in 1908 in Abeokuta and has produced a long list of distinguished old students doing well in their various endeavours.
