Yendi Secondary School old students to revive alma mater

Alhaji A.B.A. Fuseini

The Accra Chapter of the newly revamped Yendi Secondary School Old Students Association, YESSOSA, has vowed to take immediate pragmatic steps to revive the apparent dwindling fortunes of the school.

Over one hundred old students of the school met in Accra recently to review various concerns making rounds on the social networking site, Facebook, regarding the administrative lapses in the school which is downgrading its hard-and-long-earned reputation.

“It is obvious that we the old students are seeking for a new era to dawn on the school immediately,” a statement from the group said.

The meeting nominated a four-member delegation to visit the school and get first hand information on the various allegations made about the school.

“The delegation will first meet with one of our elderly members, Mr. A.B.A. Fuseini within the week for further consultations on the best way to tackle the crisis in the school,” the statement said.

One of the conveners of the meeting, Mutaru Goro Iddrisu said the

Tamale Chapter of the association would take the lead in sending a delegation to Yendi due to the challenges in getting a delegation from Accra to move in immediately.

The meeting also attracted the attention of some old students abroad, particularly those in North America and Europe and some proposed a conference call among those abroad to plan on the way forward.

The meeting was full of praise for Mr. Zakaria Hamidu through whose noble efforts the social networking page: 'Yendi Secondary Old Students Association' was created as a forum to disseminate information among members about the state of the school.

Yendi Secondary School was established in 1974 as the first secondary school in the Yendi district. Riding on the Motto: 'We Learn to Serve', the school has since produced personalities who have served the country in various capacities as Ministers, Members of Parliament, Ambassadors, Doctors, etc.
