It was also gathered that the Homecoming will surely help in attracting massive infrastructural upgrading into the Department and the Faculty at large.

The departmental student president who is the brain behind this upcoming Event when asked to give an insight about the Event said "…it has the vision which is to erect a strong and reputable University of Nigeria Medical Laboratory Science Department Alumni Association (UNMLSAA) that will be in the forefront of better laboratory practices in Nigeria and beyond and the mission is to reunite with our much appreciated pioneer founders and members in promoting togetherness and professional relationship in the practice". He thereby calls on all the past and current students of the Department to come in mass to celebrate in the Event as the Department promises to make it historic and awesome.

Without much delay, it is clear that sustainable development and the actualization of the departmental president's 7-Point Agenda, is not far from reach in MLS.
