The School
In the beginning was Federal Government Girls’ College, Oyo established on 27th of September 1974. From a modest student population of less than 25 girls who resumed on that day, FGGC Oyo has gone on to graduate more than 6000 ladies who are making impact in the public and private spheres across Nigeria and beyond.
About Us
FGGC Old Girls’ Association is the official alumnae body of all ladies who finished from FGGC Oyo (which we also fondly call FEGGO). From the early 1990s, there were efforts at pulling the alumnae of Oyo across sets together through some informal convening but there was no traction gained towards the formal organisation of the Association until 20…. It was after another one of such gatherings that three young ladies dared to seize the reins and though little known to themselves, they lent their names, reputation and resources to the cause of the formal registration of the Federal Government Girls’ College Oyo Old Association. And so today, we stand as one, united by the vision of Oladotun Amoo Florence, Bimpe Adereti and Biodun Adelakun, the Incorporated Trustees of the Association.
Again, there was some lull in activities of the Association until 2013 when another group of alumnae stirred up interest in vitalising the Association. Realising this vision was helped by the fact that the school was to clock 40 years in September 2014. With a successful 3-day celebration of the 40th anniversary in Oyo in 2014, there has been no stopping and the following 10 years have been years of mobilising alumnae, galvanising interest and fostering confidence in the Association. In between, many class-sets have organised themselves and this has facilitated building a more inclusive and stronger general Association.
Today, we can confidently say the FGGC Oyo OGA is a natural extension and expression of our spirit of sisterhood in this age of globalization.
Our Objectives and Mandate
Our purpose is to promote and foster fellowship among alumnae of FGGC Oyo (which we also fondly call FEGGO), promote the well-being of our members and to advance the interests, influence and reputation of FEGGO by establishing a medium through which old students to can aggregate their strengths in giving back to the School. Our OGA also offers us a forum to engage intellectually and network with others.
Membership
All old students of the School irrespective of their geographical location are automatically members of the Association.
Although membership is individually-based, the Association leverages the Class sets for more effective functioning. The annual membership dues is payable by sets.
Governance
The Association is run by an elected Executive Committee, which is accountable to the members.
Members participate fully in the affairs.

As an Association, we are committed to contributing to the positive development, growth and welfare of old students and to contributing significantly towards the development and progress of our Alma Mater and through these efforts make our contributions to national and global developments.
