A reknown Educationist and Director, Caleb Group of Schools, Dr. Ola Adebogun, has described the award – winning fictional story book recently published by Master Carlton Nifemi Akinsanya, a JS 2 student of Caleb College, titled ‘ Justin, The Legend’, as a confirmation of the school’s quality standard.
Adebogun, who made these remarks while being presented with copies of the wave – making book in his office on Monday by Master Akinsanya, extolled the virtues of the young writer for such a wonderful work at such a tender age
He stated that the student’s feat was not only a testimony that the Caleb Group of Schools had lived up to its expectations of ensuring the production of quality students that would contribute positively to national growth, but also an affirmation that the Caleb Group was setting the pace for others to follow.
The re known Educationist added that the student’s accomplishment was a recognition of the school’s outstanding commitment to excellence in teaching and significant contributions to quality education.
He congratulated Akinsanya for the works and advised him not only to continue striving hard, but also continue taking advantage of Caleb Group of Schools’ well – stocked library for future research.
Adebogun, who appraised the achievements of the Group of Schools over the years with national and international awards for students, staff and the schools in the Caleb Group, expressed his appreciation that the Group had fulfilled its aims of meeting parents’ aspirations by providing an atmosphere of friendliness, happiness and purpose in which children would strive academically and socially, which is central to the Group of Schools’ philosophy
“All our schools in the Caleb Group offer a competitive environment, yet one that actively seeks to promote the achievement in every child and sometimes that achievement is simply by taking part and the opportunities and facilities we offer our children are second to none as our frequent success at both national and international levels speak for itself”, he said.
Master Akinsanya, in his speech, attributed the success of the book to God, his parents, Mr. Bola and Dr. (Mrs) Olabisi Akinsanya, the knowledge he acquired from his well trained and highly qualified teachers, the support of his colleagues and the available infrastructural facilities in the school.
