As Starfield College, Lagos, rolled out the drum to commemorate its 25th anniversary, it was an occasion to celebrate staff, parents, and friends who have supported the school over the years.
  
The Director of Studies, Mr Christopher Eigbe, recalled the trying moments the College passed through from infancy to date, and thanked God for leading the school this far.
  
He said: “The journey has not always been smooth, there were moments of stress and anxiety, doubt, and frustration. The spirit of God has always been guiding us at such moments of challenges.”
  
Eigbe added: “His hand of blessings fell on the school right from inception, when there was a need to get funds to build the school, God raised helpers, when we needed to register with the West African Examination Council (WAEC), he made a way. Detractors did their best to frustrate us, but we obtained favour as God ensured that our project did not die. That project is what we are celebrating today.”
  
The Administrative Head, Mrs. Juliana Eigbe, commended members of staff, parents and other stakeholders for their support and cooperation over the years.

The Principal, Mrs Sarah Oyinloye, acknowledged the roles played by staff and parents in sustaining the standard on which the college was laid, as it continued to wax stronger.
  
Parents at the event, also acknowledged the quality of learning at the College as exemplified by the performances and status of their children in their different fields of endeavours.
 
The highlight of the celebrations was cultural dance performances and an exhibition of traditional Hausa wedding, Oriki Yoruba, and Igbo chieftaincy ceremony, Eyo masquerade, traditional cuisines and a special lecture by Prof Tunji Sotimirim titled: “Preserving our cultural heritage.”Sotimirin tasked parents to promote cultural values, saying this would impact positively on the children.
