Numbers say it all. Globally, progress in the wind sector continues to be strong with increasing annual installed capacity and growing investment in the sector. In 2015 alone, 63,013 megawatts of wind power capacity was installed globally an annual market growth of 22 percent. It is continuing its progress towards becoming a mainstream, competitive and reliable power source in both developing and mature markets. In fact, wind is becoming cheap enough in many places in the U.S.
A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Distinguished Umuahians,
The countdown has truly begun!
On behalf of the Executive Committee of GCUOBA UK & Eire and the 2026 Convention Planning Committee, it gives me immense pleasure to invite every Old Boy, our Young Girls, families, friends, and well-wishers to our 2026 Convention and Gala Night on Saturday, 19th September 2026 at the Sheraton Heathrow Hotel, West Drayton, UB7 0HJ.
This Convention is far more than a reunion. It is an opportunity to reconnect with old friends, forge new relationships, celebrate our shared heritage, and engage in meaningful discussions on the issues shaping the future of Government College Umuahia and our Global Association.
Our programme has been carefully designed to inspire and unite us through keynote addresses, breakout sessions, presentations, networking opportunities, and our Annual General Meeting. The evening Gala will provide a fitting celebration of our achievements, honour distinguished Umuahians, and reaffirm the enduring bonds that make our Association so unique.
I encourage everyone to register early, purchase your tickets, and take advantage of our discounted accommodation rates at the Sheraton Heathrow Hotel. Early planning will ensure you enjoy every aspect of what promises to be an exceptional weekend.
Whether you are travelling from within the UK, Europe, Nigeria, or anywhere else around the world, your presence matters. Together, we will continue to uphold the proud traditions of Government College Umuahia while shaping an even brighter future for generations yet to come.
Let us come together once again in the true spirit of In Unum Luceant, that together, we may shine.
I look forward to welcoming you personally in September.
