TY Danjuma leads N5bn campaign for Katsina-Ala school

Retired Lieutenant General and former Chief of Army Staff Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma is spearheading a N5 billion fundraising campaign for the rehabilitation of Government College Katsina-Ala, a historic institution in Benue State founded in 1915. The fundraising event, organized by the Katsina-Ala Old Boys Association (KAOBA), is set to take place on 19th October at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre in Abuja.

The initiative aims to address years of infrastructural decay and restore the school’s status as a center of academic excellence. KAOBA has invited governors from states historically linked to the school, including Hyacinth Alia (Benue), Agbu Kefas (Taraba), Abdullahi Sule (Nasarawa), Caleb Mutfwang (Plateau), Ahmed Usman Ododo (Kogi), and Bassey Out (Cross River).

Chief Anthony Adda, the National President of KAOBA, stated that the intervention was necessary due to prolonged neglect by authorities. Danjuma previously renovated the school's five hostels, demonstrating his commitment to its revival.
