Welcome everyone to my [email protected] and welcome to this week hive naija community activities.Happy new month in arreas everyone,am so happy to still be alive,it's already half of the year.
This week we were given the topic to write about " the last party we attended"
When I saw this topic I had to think and think,cause I don't party but I vividly remembered a sendforth party my parents and I attended,I would say it's a formal event.The chief lectures in college of education in nasarawa state hosted the event for the chief lecturers retiring and my father was one of them so we needed to be there ofcourse.
We went for the sendforth party on May 14th 2025,it started by noon in their board room.We were punctual and all sitted waiting for the acting registrar.I met so many of my fathers colleague and he introduced me to them,My mother also knew a few and was catching up with them.
Before the arrival of the registrar I took pictures of my parents and went back to sit down,shortly after that,the occasion kick-started.
Prayer was said by two people representing the Islamic and Christian religion,introduction of the registrar and the retirees.It was indeed a short but exciting occasion,the registrar welcomed us and also the chairman of the
committee.
The opportunity was open for those who would like to say anything about the retiree and encourage them.A lecturer said as the are going out the should not just stay at home but the should find something doing cause most of them are retired but yet strong,many other lectures said the would indeed miss them and wished the could stay for a contract,the also talked to the registrar that college as a whole should be the one organizing such event and not the chief lectures forum so that other lecturer who are not chief can also be send forth.
The registrar took note and the retiree were asked to speak,one of them said college should try and give the workers their due and make sure that their working days doesn't just go in vain cause many of them have served them for 35 years.
The were given gifts and appreciated for their hard work by the registrar.
This marked the end of the occasion with the closing prayer said,their would be no party without drinks indeed, refreshment were served and after the closing prayer was said we went out to take pictures.
This marked the end of the party and I was so pleased that it was a successful one.Thanks for going through my [email protected].
