The Project
Fundraising
Year after year, ACCIOBA embarks on the renovation and maintenance of buildings built by the school’s founder, Rev. Fr. Anselm Ojeifua, between 1955 and 1960. We do so because A.C.C is dear to us. The school provided us the solid foundation on which we launched our journeys to adulthood and our professional careers. We remain nostalgic and want present and future generations of students to have quality education and a memorable experience, like we did. Therefore, year after year, we renovate the mud houses where our pioneer students were educated some sixty-four years ago.
It is incontrovertible that A.C.C. is still alive today because of the generosity of ACCIOBA and the commitment of Acciobites. That unflinching commitment received a strong boost in 2019 when the North America chapter of ACCIOBA was formally inaugurated in September 2019. This chapter was founded primarily to give back to A.C.C. and it is now time to do so.
ACCIOBANA Exco resolved and recommends that:
- We launch a one-time, year-long $1.5Million ACC Reconstruction/Reclamation Fundraising Campaign
- Rebuild ACC as if it is a New Catholic School Project and change its face and fate, forever
- Cause the return of A.C.C.I to the Catholic Church
