Celebrating a remarkable milestone

With a heart full of gratitude to God Almighty, I am honoured to celebrate this remarkable milestone - the 25th Anniversary of our great institution.

Twenty-five years ago, what began as a vision rooted in faith, excellence, and discipline has grown into a beacon of outstanding academic performance and sound moral upbringing. The school has evolved into a household name within our immediate community and beyond national borders.

Over the years, we have consistently upheld our commitment to academic excellence through outstanding performances in WAEC, NECO and JAMB. Our alumni remain one of our greatest testimonies, excelling across Nigeria and internationally while carrying the values, discipline and knowledge instilled within these walls.

This journey would not have been so full of achievements without the vision and modern innovations of Dr Ayoyinka Babatunde. A prime achievement is the building of a standard WAEC and NECO CBT examination hall, allowing the school to align with new external examination modalities.

As we celebrate this silver jubilee, we renew our commitment to equipping students with 21st-century skills, innovative learning techniques and strong moral foundations. With God on our side, the next phase of our journey will be even more impactful.

To God alone be all the glory. - Akanbi M.B.O.
