Unity schools were subsequently established to bring together students from diverse ethnic, religious, and socio-economic backgrounds, cultivating a sense of unity and providing high-quality education. Upon completion of their studies, students become valuable associates, fostering national unity and progress among alumni. 

To this end, the Federal Government Girls College Calabar Old Girls Association will host its inaugural annual general meeting from November 13th to November 16th, 2025, in Abuja, under the theme ‘Turning Friendships into Profitable Partnerships.’ Alumni from across the nation and worldwide have expressed significant interest in the maiden AGM, where the first executive of the Old Girls Association will be elected by eligible delegates from the alumni chapters globally.
