That is why we have tagged it \u2018BIDOSA 95 Twenty-fifth Anniversary Plus One\u2019. We intend to use the reunion to chart a new course for BIDOSA \u201895 and reposition it for better contribution to our alma mater and national development,&#8221; Tiamiyu said in the statement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Eminent personalities expected to grace the reunion event include: Catholic Bishop of Lokoja Diocese, His Lordship, Most Rev.
