About Us

The idea of Our Lady of Apostles Secondary School, Yaba, Lagos, Nigeria Alumni Association USA-Canada was hatched in 2011 at a Cheesecake Factory dinner with Esther Macauley, Edith Ibuzo, Frankie Alika, and Feyisitan Okulate. Thereafter, Roli Aroyewun resuscitated the idea after some years to establish the alumni in the UK (United Kingdom) and the United States of America. Through several teething stages, we evolved into a non-profit 501(c)3 organization servicing the local communities in various states in the USA, Canada, and the Caribbean Islands.

We made several donations to our alma mater, Our Lady of Apostles Secondary School, Yaba, Lagos, Nigeria as well as donations to the Boys and Girls Club USA. We donated hygiene products to the female prisons in Maryland, USA. In 2022, OLA Alumni Association North America collaborated with the OLA Old Girls Association in Nigeria to establish and finance a train-the-trainer program, Mentoring the Confident Girl Child, led by Dr. Abiola Saba of OLA North America. Participants included 43 facilitators (OLA alumni). 100 students, and about 20 executives from both the USA and Nigeria. The Confident Girl Child Program was a huge success and a positive way to build and nurture our girls. Funds from this fundraising gala will be used to sustain this training program, and support the school health clinic, the boarding house, as well as our various community outreach programs in the USA.
