ANNOUNCEMENT: RE - OKOKON EDET NKPOSONG (RIP)
The death has been announced of Okokon Edet Nkposong. He passed on Monday 4th May 2015 in Abuja after a brief illness. Burial arrangements will be as announced by the family. May his gentle soul rest in the bosom of the Lord while we keep the family he left behind in our prayers.
As part of our efforts towards supporting the family he has left behind, we are presently undergoing a massive financial drive to raise money to send to his family in order to cushion whatever expenses they may have borne in the course of this burial and grant some reprieve to the loss of their bread winner. Therefore, we encourage each person to contribute a minimum of N25,000/ GBP100 and above towards this gesture. Pay through the accounts of Christabel (NGN), Hector (USD) and Onyeka (GBP).
We pray we won’t have to bury our own again in his or her prime and we will live a fulfilled life and see our grand children’s children. Kindly send in your token as soon as possible in order for us to collate and remit the funds. God bless you as you do so.
Thank You.
RE: PESCUNNA 1990 PLANS FOR 2015
Dear Fedgocolians (Set of 90), We the members of the BOT of PESCUNNA 1990 held a meeting on 2nd January, 2015 (via skype) and the following issues were deliberated on:
1. School Project
2. Business Idea to Sustain Funds
3. Welfare
4. Registration
We intend to award N100,000 as an academic grant to the top two students in the graduating JSS3 class at N50,000 each at the start of the school year in September. As the group matures and fund increases we may add two more students to increase the grant to N200,000 per year.
We also deliberated on various investments to sustain and increase funds generated and agreed on risk free Treasury Bills or Fixed Deposits (in Nigeria) with expectation that the returns will lie between 10 - 14 % yield per annum. The end game of this investment vehicle is to be able to fund the scholarship to the students yearly and also the funds we will allocate to provide financial assistance to members of our set. For example, if our yearly outlay is =N=500,000 (=N=100,000 for the grant and =N=400,000 for financial assistance to members), we will strive to raise =N=5M so that the interest from the investment will sustain our yearly outlay.
On welfare, a document was prepared by the trustees and would be sent to everyone shortly.
Registration of PESCUNNA is still on going.
Source of Funds:
The group set a target to collect the 2015 yearly dues (of N24,000 at N2,000 per month) from at least 50 members by the end of March in order to approach the school and inform them of the academic grant we intend to award by April. If we hit this target we will have =N=1.2M. We will take =N=100,000 for the grant and the rest will be put towards the investment account.
On the investment account we will strive to raise N5m so that the interest from the investment will be enough to cater for the academic grant and financial assistance to members.
We also want to encourage all members to contribute above their annual dues and also to pay the outstanding dues of 2014 (from September to December) as initially mandated by the BOT.
All Naira payments should be made to Christabel's account pending PESCUNNA's registration and accounts being opened.
The account details are:
Bank Name: Ecobank, Account Number: 0081027063, Account Name: Bello, Edore Christabel.
Dollar and other foreign currency payments can be made through Hector's account.
Regards,

Introducing our New Social Media Group on Telegram
Dear Esteemed Classmates,
For a while now a few of us have been using BlackBerry Messenger and Whatsapp platforms to communicate with ourselves, raise suggestions and carry out decisions on behalf of everyone else. These few members, usually less than fifty have been so privileged only because groups on these apps can contain only 50 members (and not all the members contribute). We have discovered a recent app; Telegram that can hold up to 200 members. It is free, fast, works like whatsapp and can be used on android, ios, Microsoft, BlackBerry and even on your desktop.
Thus, the Board of Trustees of PESCUNNA has therefore recommended that we create a group of 200 members on Telegram.
Kindly, download "Telegram" from Google Playstore, BB World, Apple Store etc., install same on your mobile device or PC and we will take it up from there. Thank you!
