UI Independence Hall alumni set to commission public address system, unveil new logo
The Great Independence Hall Alumni Association (GIHAA) will on Tuesday commission a newly installed public address system and unveil a new alumni logo for the historic Great Independence Hall, University of Ibadan.
Scheduled to at the Great Independence Hall on UI’s campus in Ibadan from around 11:00 AM, the event will mark another milestone in the association’s sustained efforts to support and enhance student life at the university.
According to a statement issued by the alumni, the installation of the public address system is expected to improve hall-wide communication, bolster coordination of student activities, and foster a stronger sense of community among residents.
The statement also said the commissioning will be led by Professor Joseph Olutayo Yaniwura, a retired professor of statistics and one of the pioneer occupants of Independence Hall.

His participation, organisers say, highlights the enduring legacy and continued involvement of past occupants in the development of the hall.
In addition to the commissioning, the ceremony will feature the formal unveiling of the GIHAA’s new alumni logo—an emblem designed to reflect the unity, heritage, and forward-looking values of the association.
“This event is not only about the commissioning of a system or the launch of a logo—it’s about legacy, identity, and our collective responsibility to give back,” said Mr. Omotola Ifafore, President of the Great Independence Hall Alumni Association.
“We’re thrilled to contribute to the hall’s development and to deepen the connection among past and present occupants of Indy Hall”, he said.
