The EKOBA-NA(North America) with the support of other service clubs in Nigeria and across the world piloted the construction of a 500 seater, Rev. W.B Euba Memorial Hall, named in honour of the founder of the school.

Another service club, BODAS’70, also embarks on the conversion of the old dormitory to a four block of 2-bedroom flats for the principal and vice principal of the Junior and Senior School.

To further fortify the campus, and prevent intrusion into the school compound, especially during school hours, the EKOBA National body decided to embark on the remodeling of the school gates and provision of a decent gatehouse for the security personnel.
