Director-General, Office of Quality Assurance, Lagos State Ministry of Education, Mrs Ronke Soyobo, said the prize giving ceremony was a reward for hard work and a preparation for future challenges and leadership role of young leaders.

Soyobo, represented by Director, Monitoring and Investigation Office of Education, Mrs Bambi Falayi, commended the participants for putting on a spirit of sportsmanship.

“Put on the jacket of academic sportsmanship, imbibe good moral, as your schools continue to transform, reposition and take you to the zenith of your chosen career, ” she said.
