The Alumni Picnic held on 16 November brought together NTIC Kano alumni couples, their spouses, and children for a memorable day of bonding, relaxation, and joyful activities. The special gathering welcomed families from different alumni sets, creating a warm and vibrant environment where everyone could reconnect with old friends while meeting new faces. It was a wholesome celebration of unity, love, and community—the perfect reminder that NTIC’s impact continues even long after graduation. The picnic was beautifully organized to strengthen family ties and reinforce the alumni network in a relaxed outdoor setting.
The Alumni Picnic quickly became a unique platform where alumni husbands and wives shared quality moments away from the usual daily routines. Couples set aside their busy schedules to enjoy meaningful conversations, laughter, and light-hearted interactions. This refreshing atmosphere allowed many to rediscover the importance of creating time for family bonding. While the adults enjoyed catching up, the children made new friends, played freely, and participated in exciting group activities planned for them throughout the day.
The Alumni Picnic was enriched by the presence of distinguished alumni whose involvement added warmth and inspiration to the gathering. Many senior alumni expressed how delighted they were to witness the growth and achievements of the younger generation. Their presence also created an avenue for informal mentorship as they shared stories about marriage, career, business, and personal development. This inter-generational mix strengthened the sense of belonging and reminded everyone of the powerful community NTIC continues to nurture.
The Alumni Picnic offered families a mixture of fun activities that kept the energy high from start to finish. Children ran around freely, enjoying games tailored to their age groups, while adults participated in team activities designed to spark excitement and connection. The open space allowed both kids and adults to unwind, enjoy nature, and take a break from city life. This balance of fun and relaxation made the day especially enjoyable for families who rarely get such moments together.
The Alumni Picnic reached a major highlight during the painting competition—a colourful and exciting segment that brought out creativity from both children and adults. Participants were provided canvases, brushes, and vibrant paint palettes as they expressed themselves through art. Laughter filled the air as couples and their children worked together, blending colours, sharing ideas, and creating beautiful memories on canvas. The painting competition turned out to be more than just a fun activity; it became a symbol of unity, teamwork, and the beauty of expressing emotions as a family.
The Alumni Picnic became a hub of connection where families shared experiences about parenting, careers, entrepreneurship, and personal growth. Many couples found this gathering valuable because it allowed them to speak with others who were navigating similar life stages. These conversations helped strengthen the alumni network and created opportunities for future collaborations, both socially and professionally. By the end of the day, many participants expressed gratitude for the refreshing conversations that helped them feel more supported and connected.
The Alumni Picnic concluded with heartfelt appreciation from the Alumni Relations Office, emphasizing how important such gatherings are in maintaining strong alumni bonds. The success of the event reflected the collective effort of alumni, their spouses, and the NTIC community. Everyone left with smiles, renewed friendships, stronger family connections, and beautiful paintings to take home as souvenirs. The entire gathering served as a powerful reminder that alumni relationships do not end at graduation—the community continues to grow stronger when families come together.
