Ghana Gas and generations of old boys have handed Mfantsipim School a new infirmary, capping a run of anniversary projects at the 150-year-old institution in Cape Coast.

Footage from the ceremony, shared online on Friday, shows clergy, alumni and school officials opening the facility during the anniversary Grand Week.

A dedication prayer preceded the cutting of the ribbon. Text displayed in the video named the Ghana National Gas Company and Mfantsipim Old Boys Association year groups from 1964 to 1995 as donors.

In October, MOBA leaders led by Ebusuapanyin Moses Baiden Jnr, Chairman Alex Dadey and headmaster Very Rev. Ebenezer K. Aidoo inspected the site and said the works would be handed over complete for the celebrations.

MOBA called the projects a lasting investment in the school's future.

Old boys began arriving in the city on Wednesday for the Grand Entry convoy into Cape Coast. The association has also run heritage processions and campus tours to show visitors what it calls the transformed infrastructure across Kwabotwe hill.

The week closes with a Grand Durbar and a thanksgiving service, which MOBA bills as the peak of its 150th year, with the school tracing its history to 1876.
