IN THE EYES OF THE HERO

OH! MY IROKO

Oh! my iroko,

Why did you fall?

Why did you allow the wind to break your heart?

When your name was called in the night,

Like shadow,

You left me in darkness.

Oh! my iroko,

I ask myself,

How true that;

My Calabash broke and i will not longest drink from it.

Oh! my iroko,

At the river bank,

Your footprint were found.

But when i searched and searched for you,

I heard a fading voice of katakpa, masa-ibi and agbunshu all combined calling your name simultaneously.

I realized death has shallow an eagle,

Indeed an iroko has passed.

Oh! my iroko,

Where are you?

The 1994 graduating class of Federal Government College (FGC) Wukari, Taraba State, has donated a modern water facility to the school for the use of both staff and students. This initiative was driven by the rising concerns over poor water supply in the college. The project, brought to fruition through the contributions of the 1994 alumni who have since established themselves in various fields, was officially handed over to the school management on August 24, 2024, by representatives of the class. Speaking at the handover ceremony, Professor Shishi Zhema, the current Vice-Chancellor of Kwararafa University, Wukari and a member of the 1994 class, reflected on their experiences as students at FGC Wukari.
