Mrs Soludo praised the students for their intelligence, creativity, and global competitiveness, describing them as a shining example of Anambra’s legacy of excellence. She also applauded the school’s management for creating opportunities that allow students to thrive academically and engage in international platforms.
She reassured the public that the Anambra State Government remains committed to advancing quality, inclusive, and accessible education, and will continue to support initiatives that empower young learners to compete globally and achieve their full potential.
