The Fijai Old Students Association (FOSA) has reaffirmed its commitment to the advancement of Fijai Senior High School through various developmental initiatives and renewed calls for alumni support.

Speaking at the Association’s recent Annual General Meeting, YS Captain Isaac Asare-Bediako (Rtd), President of FOSA Global, outlined key activities and projects currently underway, with special emphasis on completing the school’s perimeter fence wall.

In his address, Captain Asare-Bediako emphasised that the primary goal of any alumni association is to improve the academic standards of their alma mater.

“A lot of effort has been invested over the years by past administrations, and this has led to enviable performances, particularly in the 2023 WASSCE results,” he stated.

FOSA donates a projector to Alma Mater

During the programme, FOSA made a special donation to the school.

A projector was donated to aid academic work, and a site visit was organized to assess the status of ongoing projects on campus.

Further demonstrating their commitment, FOSA members, year groups and organizations have made in-kind contributions towards the completion of the school’s fence wall—currently the association’s flagship project.

Notably, 200 bags of cement were donated by CIMAF Cement through the facilitation of YS Joseph Kobina Aboo (FOSA ’87), who also personally provided a trip of gravel.

Coastal Quarry, through YS Michael Oppan, contributed five trips of quarry dust to the project.

Commenting further on the fence wall project, the YS Captain Asare-Bediako (Rtd) said, “This project is dear to most of us. “The initial work done by our immediate past president, YS Prof Eddy Appiah, laid a strong foundation.

He also thanked YS Gyan Tawiah, the former chairman and the current Development and Strategic Sub-Committee Chairman, YS Edmund Sampana, for their leadership and dedication,” said YS Captain Asare-Bediako.

FOSA calls for collective support to complete fence wall

Captain Asare-Bediako issued a heartfelt call to all old students—affectionately referred to as “Young Souls”—to contribute individually or through their year groups to complete the school’s fence wall in record time.

“With sustained dynamism and cooperation, we can make this a reality,” he said, adding that a more aggressive corporate sponsorship drive was underway to support the cause.

FOSA’s leadership also announced that this year’s Homecoming celebration would take place in October 2025, with details to be communicated soon.

Corporate partnerships and ongoing projects

The FOSA President revealed that ongoing improvement works at the frontage of the school’s Assembly Hall are being sponsored by Justmoh Construction, a Takoradi-based road construction company.

He assured that the project was progressing smoothly and that the contractor remained engaged.

The association’s outreach to corporate bodies and influential alumni continues to yield positive results, with more donations and sponsorships anticipated.

“We hope to expand this drive to cover other areas of development in the school,” he said.

Recognition of diaspora chapters

YS Captain Asare-Bediako also lauded FOSA chapters abroad, especially FOSA North America, which he described as “a shining example.”

He singled out the inauguration of the Prof J.Y. Andoh Learning Centre as a testament to their impactful contributions.

He encouraged FOSA UK and FOSA Canada to follow suit in supporting the school through creative and sustainable interventions.

Honouring the past and inspiring the future

A symbolic gesture was made by gifting official FOSA cloth to all Young Souls who completed Fijai SHS between 1955 and 1969—a tribute to the school’s rich legacy and to inspire continued commitment from its elder alumni.

YS Captain Asare-Bediako concluded with a rallying cry: “The time to give back to our school is now. Let us render ourselves more serviceable to our Mother, Ama Fijai. Let us soar like the eagle, just as our school crest inspires us to.”

Looking ahead, the Global Executive Committee plans to publish a reviewed priority project list to serve as a roadmap for further development initiatives. Stakeholders are expected to respond with tangible support.

“Fijai SHS has a lot of goodwill, which, if well harnessed, will create enormous opportunities. We must rise above personal interests and work collaboratively to make the school a beacon of excellence once more,” the FOSA president emphasised.
