2020 WASSCE: Abia private school wins prize for overall best results


The award ceremony took place during the 59th annual meeting of the Nigeria national committee of the West African Examination Council (WAEC) in Ibadan, Oyo state, on Thursday.

Five students of the private school, located at Eke-Owerri in Obingwa LGA of the state, had As across all subjects in last year’s edition of the exam.

Nwaozuzu Confidence, one of the students of the school who had nine As, also came third in the national distinction/merit category.

In the 2020 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE), TEDA also recorded a 100 percent pass with no re-sit in any subjects.

At the event, Godson Dinneya, TEDA’s founder, commended the staff of the school for the feat despite the challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic.

“The year in question was the COVID-19 year. Schools were shut. We struggled with how to give our students the best preparations for the examination,” he said.

“The awards come with their own challenges to do more. The Class of 2020 has raised the threshold at TEDA for the teachers for the students, for all of us.”

Okezie Ikpeazu, Abia state governor, had earlier awarded scholarships to the five students of the school who made nine straight As to any university of their choice in Nigeria

A breakdown of the school’s results showed that 79 of the students took part in the exam, out of which five of them had nine As while five had eight As.

AKURE OBASHIP: OBA AGUNSOYEBIOYINBO ADEMUAGUN ADESIDA 11 BROUGHT CLASS AND DIGNITY TO THE THRONE

      AKURE OBASHIP: OBA AGUNSOYEBIOYINBO ADEMUAGUN ADESIDA 11 BROUGHT CLASS AND DIGNITY TO THE THRONE                 By Sunday Ajibola There are men and there are men. Man gets to positions of power and authority and bring to bear their inner qualities. Position, as we have it here, is used to do all sorts of things; good and bad. But mostly and vexatiously, position blinds us as we use it to cheat and deny others their rights. Certain men understand that position is an opportunity to etch their names in gold and put such in the sand of time.   It is exactly fifty years today that the 42nd Deji of Akure, late Oba Agunsoyebioyinbo Ademuagun Adesida 11 joined his ancestors. That fateful day was Sunday and in the evening; darkness was just enveloping the city. It was the strange shouts of "opo ye o, opo ye o, opo ye o", that prompted me to rush out of our house at Oke aro. I saw people running helter, skelter. I did not bother about them. I was looking for the "electric

It is the second major theft of cryptocurrencies to take place in recent days.                 Last week, digital token platform Poly Network was at the centre of a $600m heist.
