A private nursery and primary school based in Akure, the Ondo state capital has won the best private school award in Nigeria.
The school was recently announced winner at the 2022 Presidential Teachers and School Excellence Award to mark the world teachers’ day
Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo presented the award to the school at the Eagle Square in Abuja at a well attended ceremony.
For achieving the feat, a brand new bus was presented to the school which was received by the founder, Dr Damilola Oshin
Speaking at a reception organised to celebrate the award, Dr Oshin expressed her delight over the award.
She noted that Mummy’s Place is a school that believes in the development of children which has made the school a force to be reckoned with
Dr Damilola said: “Love helps the helpless to see that there is help somewhere. It is a very important aspect of humanity, children need lots of love and we should be there for them”. Education services should not be business oriented, it is a calling to nurture children, build them and get them to a place of independence and education service must reach all strata of the economy”.
“We’ve been trying to keep the standards , this year is just a year that we got recognized and we will just keep doing what we have been doing. They came from Abuja to look at our facilities and they were surprised, the children are neat, cultured and loving. We will continue to be focused and committed, we won’t relent to bring out the potentials in the students”,
While speaking on the 8-month-old strike by the Academic Union of Universities (ASUU), she said, “Every parents should be worried because of the ASUU strike, it is painful and worrisome to see that their education is affected because of strike, the only way out is to continue to pray. Parents should get their children engaged in anyway because an idle hand is the devil’s workshop”.
She dedicated the award to God, the children, parents and staff of the school
Mrs Dunni Famewo, a representative from Ondo State Ministry of Education while congratulating the school and the proprietress, said the award is well deserved.
