Owen Chiedozie Nwokolo, members of the school leadership, the Centenary Committee, and other stakeholders committed to the continued growth and development of the historic institution.
Speaking on the development, the Principal of DMGS, Rev. Chimezie Ogidi, described the agreement as a landmark achievement that reflects the resilience, unity, and commitment of the DMGS community, particularly coming two years after the collapse of the Centenary Building.
In a related development, the school received the Bishop of Maseno North Diocese, Kenya, Rt. Rev. Charles Kasan Asilitwa, who visited the institution alongside the Proprietor, Rt. Rev. Owen Nwokolo, to inspect ongoing development projects.
During the visit, the bishops toured the Centenary Building and the Obijackson Indoor Sports Hall, which are currently under construction, and expressed appreciation for the progress recorded towards their completion.
Rev. Ogidi explained that the projects are part of the institution’s broader vision to promote academic excellence, character development, sports advancement, and holistic education for future generations of students.
He expressed appreciation to the Proprietor, alumni, partners, and other stakeholders whose continued support has contributed significantly to the transformation of the school, noting that the projects represent a major investment in the future of DMGS.
