"I have passion for the school because of your dedication to your studies. I have seen several students on the road during school hours, but I have not seen any of your students. The spirit of academics you exhibit has paid off," Commissioner Adeoye remarked during the visit.

The scholarship, which is for JSS3 students only, will extend throughout secondary school education for those who maintain exceptional performance. If the selected student sustains their academic excellence into SS1, they will receive sponsorship for the entirety of their secondary school education.

Under this initiative, the top three performing JSS3 students will receive a cash prize of N200,000 each, while the three best performing JSS2 students will be awarded N100,000 each, respectively.
