In a heartwarming visit to Offa, our program officer embarked on a mission to recognize and reward excellence in education. The journey took us to Olalomi Comprehensive College, Moremi High School, Iyeru Grammar School, and Okin High School, where moments of inspiration unfolded.
Honoring Academic Excellence
A highlight of the day was the presentation of appreciation letters to these esteemed schools, recognizing their commitment to education. The spotlight, however, shone brightest on Musliyu Mubarak, the exceptional JSS 3 student in Mathematics at Olalomi Comprehensive College. He not only received well-deserved praise but also a significant cash award for his outstanding achievements during the 2022/2023 academic session.
