The Ogudu Grammar School Alumni Association, Year 1989 Set, was established in 1999, ten years after the graduation of the set from the school. The association has since been involved in various projects and activities to improve the quality of education and infrastructure in the school, as well as to assist the less privileged members of the society. Some of the projects include the renovation of the school library, the donation of books and computers, the award of scholarships and bursaries, and the provision of medical and humanitarian aid.

The association also organizes regular social and recreational events for its members, such as reunions, picnics, seminars, and sports competitions. The association has chapters in different states and countries, where members meet and network with each other.

The association is open to all former students of Ogudu Grammar School, who graduated in 1989, regardless of their current location, occupation, or status. The association aims to maintain a strong bond among its members and to contribute to the development of the school and the society at large.
