“The impact this 91 year old principal had on is monumental because he became our principal from year one in 1979 and was there to mentor us all through to 1984 without being transferred. At that time we thought he was hard on us but realized that he has thoroughly prepared us for life challenges later in our adulthood.” He reasoned.

He pointed out that they decided to celebrate the former principal while he is still alive in line with a philosopher’s view that it is good to read what is written on ones epitaph while alive noting that for the old old boys, Sir CC Okoye symbolizes Okongwu Memorial Grammar School.

The coordinator of the group, Mr Udemezue Kenedy also said that whatever the class members achieved in life, apart from God, the former principal and a renown educationist occupies an eminent position in making them focused and determined to excel.
