The Director General, Office of Education Quality Assurance (OEQA), Mrs. Abiola Seriki-Ayeni has charged students against succumbing to failure but always strives to make it to the zenith.

  
She handed the charge during the 2022  Valedictory Service and Graduation/Prize giving Ceremony of Mind Builders High School (MBHS), Lagos. 

At the ceremony, which had as its theme “Dream Big,” Seriki-Ayeni, who was represented by Director of Private Education and Special Services, Mrs. Bambi Falayi, advised the students to pursue their academic lives with the sole aim of attaining success, adding that it was very important for them to always stand tall amid whatever vagaries that may come their way.
   
Her words: “Dreaming big is a higher calling and a never-ending vision that requires you to push yourselves to the limit to achieve your set goals, and the main ingredients are; overcoming fears of failure, self-confidence, and having good role models. To achieve your dreams, you must have set goals and you must believe in yourselves and be practical to achieve the set goals. Your set goals must be S.M.A.R.T; they must Specific, Meaningful, Achievable, Realistic, and Trackable for you to have a better sense of progress. 

  
“Hard work is another major ingredient to achieving one’s dreams. Therefore, you must continue to work hard because the future leadership of this great nation rests on your shoulders. Today, as we celebrate you, we are also preparing you for leadership. Hence, you have to be diligent, focused, and determined for you to achieve your dreams all the time,” she said.
   
The school’s Education Director, Mrs. Morolake Bolajoko Falore encouraged the graduands to be passionate in what they do, and to follow their dreams to achieve excellence in whatever they do later in life. 
  
“Ladies and gentlemen, today, we gather with a primary objective – to honour those learners who achieved academic, emotional, and behavioural excellence in the course of the outgoing academic year 2021/2022. Your diligence, exemplary behaviour, late-night burning of candles to study and heartfelt attitude have finally paid off. You have demonstrated that you have all the qualities required to soar high and stand out. I am greatly proud of you and doubly proud that you are our student and product. I do hope that the winners inspire other pupils to roll up their sleeves and get to work next term.

The Chairman of the school board, Mr. Olatunbosun Falore in his comment said: “The school has done its best by moulding them for tomorrow’s challenges, and they should take it as a starting point for greater things to happen in their lives at least the foundation is already laid for them to work hard so that they can be successful in the university.
