Our History
We are a group of individuals who while churning out the pages of our lives have one thing in common: ‘AFCS Ibadan’.
We are best suitably described as ex-students of Air-Force Comprehensive School, Iyana-offa, who have firmly resolved to come together as one to cooperate and fraternize on a non-partisan platform.
“Old Student/Alumni” means the following only:
a) All graduates of Air-Force Comprehensive School, Iyana-offa.
b) All persons that have studied at Air-Force Comprehensive School, Iyana-offa for a minimum of two (2) academic sessions; and
c) Such associate/honorary member as may be conferred by the Congress.
Our Logo
The official Alumni Logo is displayed below:
The Logo was coined from the official school Logo with the major difference being the depiction of the official Alumni Mascot bird “Phoenix” and also the lettering is boldly written diagonally across the badge. The slogan “Perseverance breeds success” was retained because it is viewed as a reminder required throughout the course of our life cycle.
The choice of the Phoenix Bird as opposed to the eagle depicted in the official school badge was borne by the mythology surrounding the ancient bird found in History. The bird symbolizes rebirth, which depicts our situation after we have left our Alma Matta.
How It Started
The Alumni started to take shape in 2008 when a group of friends decided to plan a gathering that cut across different classes of students, the gathering was a success and could officially be referred to as the first reunion comprising all graduating sets.
The introduction of AFCS Forum on Facebook by Taiwo Lawal of the 92/96 set created a medium, which aided the dissemination of vital information to ex-students and activities have been coordinated mainly through this forum.
The clamor for a more official forum has led to the creation of a website dedicated strictly to Alumni Activities.
The official school Alumni Executives were voted in at the 2011 Annual General Meeting of ex-students held at the Nite Shift Coliseum in Opebi. The Alumni has been duly registered under the CAC act as a corporate, non-political entity.
