About IGS91
The story of Iponri Grammar School Old Students Association — '91 Set
Our Heritage
A Legacy Born in 1991
The Iponri Grammar School (IGS) Old Students Association — '91 Set, known as I.G.S.O.S.S., was formed by the graduating class of 1991 from Iponri Grammar School, Lagos, Nigeria. What began as informal reunions among former classmates has grown into a vibrant, structured association spanning multiple continents.
Our school, Iponri Grammar School, holds a distinguished place in the educational history of Lagos State. Founded with the mission of providing quality education to the youth of Iponri and its environs, the school produced generations of accomplished professionals, entrepreneurs, academics, and community leaders.
The class of 1991 — our set — graduated at a pivotal moment in Nigeria's history, carrying with them the rigorous academic training and strong moral foundation that IGS was renowned for. In the decades since, members of the '91 set have distinguished themselves across every field of human endeavour.
Today, IGS91 serves as the connective tissue that keeps this remarkable community together, fostering professional collaboration, personal support, and collective service to our alma mater and the wider society.
"One Love — the bond that transcends time and distance."
