The SLOGA 2024 AGM spanning three memorable days from Friday 25th October to Sunday 27th October 2024 just concluded in the St Louis College Jos premises.. This year’s event brought together more members from various sets, chapters, and locations, fostering a sense of community and unity.
Despite initial technical hitches and power glitches, which caused a slight delay, the event progressed smoothly thanks to the active participation of members online and in person. The camaraderie and resilience of SLOGA members shone through, fueled by refreshing tea and snacks. As with previous years, the Administration and students of our Alma Mater provided support throughout the event.
The AGM also featured an array of SLOGA memorabilia for sale, offering members a chance to own a piece of the association’s history. These items are still available for purchase at the SLOGA Secretariat, online, and can be viewed in the AGM Digital Magazine. Click to view our first ever digital AGM Magazine
