BRIEF HISTORY OF ALUMNI ASSOCIATION OF BINGHAM UNIVERSITY(AABHU)

The idea to form the Association of Bingham University Alumni was conceived in December 2013 by a few pioneer graduates of Bingham University. From that time till the actual birth of the association, many graduates across sets willingly volunteered and passionately contributed to the process.

A few staff members such as the then PRO, Mr. Sebastine Abu and the Registrar, Mr. David Olowola in 2015, also gave a hand of support to the efforts of the aforementioned individuals. As a follow-up to such historic event of September 26, 2015, and its resolutions, a Caretaker Committee chaired by Ibukun Aluko with Batet Musa Batet as (Secretary), Elizabeth Umaru (Member), Panshak Mwanse (Member), Ngbede Ocholi (Member), Oluyomi Bagudu (Member), and Zino Mbosi franklin (Member) was set up.
