Pace -setting old students of St John’s Grammar School, IleIfe will break new grounds tomorrow with the commissioning of N20 million road upgraded with 5,965 inter-locking blocks.<\/p>\n
The brainchild of the 1979 to 1984 set, the road is 150 metres length and six metres wide with\u00a0 dual bellmouth at both ends.<\/p>\n
With one-sided open drain of 150 metre kerb, the inter-locking is expected to last in view of the use of laterite as aubgrade and application of layers of materials to ensure that plant based waste do not percolate.<\/p>\n
The construction, which took 14 weeks, was put to structural test successfully by running a vehicle at 25 metres.per hour.<\/p>\n
Commending the set, president of St John’s Grammar School Old Boys Association SJOBA, Dr. Odunayo Osoba said the SJOBA continues to set the standards for other alumni associations to follow<\/p>\n
He recalled how other sets have built a new block of toilets, rehabilitated blocks of classrooms, teachers” quarters and the library.<\/p>\n
His words: ” The 1979-84 set has raised the bar of giving back to the alma mater with this gigantic project. I believe other sets shall set their eyes on higher goals.”<\/p>\n
The governor of Osun State, Senator Demola Adeleke is expectef to commission the project.<\/p>\n
