LETTER OF DISCLAIMER/ RECOMMENDATIONS FOR APPLICATION OF DISCIPLINARY MEASURES.
On Sunday 21st June, 2020, our Association regressed into the darkest annal of its history when
our sensibilities were assailed and our evening disturbed by the news that a Group of Dissident
Old Boys (largely of the 1978 & 1979 Class sets) led by Rev Tunde Adenekan were holding a
purported BIFOBA General meeting online via Zoom, and during which meeting the said Rev
Adenekan was being sworn in as our Association’s Global President and Adenekan himself in
turn, was swearing in Officers of his illegal and phantom Executive Council, an activity that is
clearly in breach of our Association’s Constitution, inimical to the growth and well being of
BIFOBA, BFHS and students of our School, an act viewed as a slap on the faces of our
Association’s legally elected Executive Council (NEC/Executive Council ) and a complete
affront to the generality of our Old Boys globally….more

About UK Chapter
Birch Freeman High School Old Boys Association (BIFOBA UK Chapter) celebrates its 57th founder’s day Anniversary on the 5th February 2017 in London.
The school was founded by the Methodist Mission and was named after its first missionary (Thomas Birch Freeman)that came to Nigeria in 1842. The school has done very well over the years and has nurtured and produced very eminent and successful individuals amongst which is the former Governor of Lagos state and present Federal Minister for power, works and housing Mr Raji Fashola.
The UK chapter of the BIFOBA was formed in 2012 by a few old boys who thought having an association in the UK was well overdue.
