Experts task students on academic excellence, others

The Chairman, FBN Holding Plc, Remi Babalola has advised students to strive for excellence and remain focused on their academic pursuits.
  
Speaking at the 5th valedictory session of 16 Plus School to end the 2020/2021 academic session, he reminded the young graduating students that winners never quit and quitters never win.

Babalola urged the students not to be afraid of failure, but to see it as a learning experience, observing that globally, young people affect changes in society, just as the biggest changes happen when youths refuse to give up.

He said: “The more you learn, the more you know and the more you know, the more you grow. Read lots of books. Speak to people and learn from their mistakes. Study a wide range of books. There is always something new to learn, a new skill to pick up and more empathy to develop.”
  
The Head of School, Rev. Tobias Ihejirika, commended the teachers and staff for making uncommon sacrifices to weather the many challenges. “The students and parents were also often required to take up challenges that stretched them to the limits of ordinary resources. We found ourselves torn between fighting a virus and fighting to deliver on the school’s various curricula through thick and thin. That we have successfully come to the end of the session is, indeed, a hard-earned miracle. For this, may I thank all of you for your active participation and collaboration throughout the academic year.”
