Top dignitaries, respected traditional leaders, and notable alumni from across Nigeria are expected to converge on Birnin-Kudu on Saturday as the Birnin-Kudu Old Boys Association (BIKOBA) holds its 41st Annual General Meeting (AGM).

The event, taking place at Government Unity College – formerly Government College Birnin-Kudu-will bring together past students of the institution to review activities of the association, celebrate achievements, and discuss priority areas for the coming year.

A major feature of the program will be a public lecture by Alhassan Mohammed, Assistant Director at the Central Bank of Nigeria, who will deliver a presentation on “Enhancing Career Development Through Information Technology.” The lecture is expected to offer insights into how digital skills can boost professional relevance in a rapidly changing work environment.
