“As important as education is to a child, our focus should not only be on the academic aspects alone but on their social, athletic, emotional, psychological development and much more. These are equally important and necessary for all-round development”, Mrs. Abiodun said.

While congratulating and presenting certificates and gifts to the 45 students who emerged winners at the earlier organised Spelling Bee, Debate, Talent Hunt, Creativity Display, and Discussion on SDGs 4 and 5 competitions by the Club, she charged others to find more ways to learn and keep abreast of Information and Communication Technology.

Commissioner for Education, Science, and Technology, Prof. Abayomi Arigbabu, represented by the Director, Education Support Services, Mrs. Adesola Onayiga congratulated the 45 outstanding children.

He said the state has always been known for the best in all areas and education in particular.
