The discussion included a showdown of history from times past till present on how the school has transformed academically and morally in the last years. Various challenging Nursing Issues were raised and were duely and intellectually addressed. The section ended with encomiums from the alumni members and appreciation from the organizing committee.

The reunion took another face when there was a re-convergence of members of the Alumni on the school auditorium for the gala and manifesto night. The manifesto night featured contestants into various positions declare their intended plans for the association if they are elected. It was a night to remember as questions flung in the air to test the credibility and commitment of the contestants. The Thursday session ended with a closing prayer around 10:00pm.

DAY 2 – 26th January, 2018
The day two of the programme was extremely scintillating as it began with novelty matches between the Alumni team and the School team in both male and female categories.

She established the fact that there is a huge difference between leadership and management but also emphasized that they work hand in hand only if the right factor can be put in place. She however established the missing link as mentorship, she implored the alumni members to embrace this link and make sure it doesn’t get severed as they advance in the profession in different dispensations. She also made a call to all Nursing leaders to embrace more of leadership qualities than management qualities as this is a key to mentorship. Various questions were raise and satisfactorily dealt with by the guest speaker.
