About Us – SCOBA ’07
SCOBA ’07 is a vibrant alumni family made up of the 2007 set of St. Charles Special Science School, Onitsha. Founded on the principles of brotherhood, unity, and progress, we exist to keep our bond alive beyond the classroom and to support one another in every stage of life.
Who We Are
We are more than just classmates, we are a family of brothers committed to standing together in times of joy, in times of need, and in pursuit of collective growth. Over the years, SCOBA ’07 has grown into a well-organized body with registered members across Nigeria and abroad. Our strength lies in our unity and the shared belief that together, we can achieve more.
Our Leadership & Structure
Our executives, led by the President, are elected through a transparent process conducted by the Election Committee (ELECO). Branches such as Lagos, UK, and Onitsha provide closer support to members in their locations. We continue to expand, ensuring every member has a place to belong.
What We Do
-
Support & Welfare – We stand by our members during weddings, burials, sickness, and other life events. Envelopes and welfare initiatives ensure no brother is left alone. Starting 2026, a dedicated Welfare Committee will manage welfare grants, hospital support, scholarships for our children, and other assistance, strictly for active and dues-compliant members.
-
Business & Empowerment – SCOBA ’07 runs a Business Committee to help members save and invest together. Plans include real estate, hostels, agriculture, healthcare, and treasury bills. Member’s businesses are also promoted for free across our website and social media platforms, helping brothers grow financially.
-
Social Media & Digital Presence – Our official platforms (website, YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, and email) keep members connected globally and also serve as income-generating assets for the association.
-
Unity & Brotherhood – We celebrate together, visit and support each other, and organize branch activities that strengthen our bond. From inaugurations to outreach, SCOBA ’07 is always alive.
-
Constitution & Accountability – Our constitution is the backbone of the association. It is periodically reviewed to reflect present realities like dues, welfare, and event contributions are all guided by it. Accountability in finances is maintained through proper reporting, updated dues trackers, and structured financial systems.
