Learn Africa- NECO Excellence award presentation

Wednesday, 2 December, 2015 will remain unforgettable for recipients of the Learn Africa-NECO Excellence Awards sponsored by the Learn Africa Education Development Foundation (LAEDF), the corporate social responsibility arm of Learn Africa Plc., the foremost Education resource company.
Students, teachers and schools that distinguished themselves in the June/July, 2015 NECO SSCE were present at the Protea Hotel, GRA, Ikeja to receive these awards.  The award ceremony is in line with the Foundation’s unwavering commitment to the celebration and promotion of academic excellence.
According to the Chairman of Learn Africa Plc. and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of LAEDF, Chief Emeke Iwerebon who gave the welcome address during the National award prize presentation “students and their teachers are primarily motivated to achieve excellence by intrinsic rewards such as self-respect, responsibility, ambition and accomplishment.
But if the truth be told, this may not happen at all, except someone picks up the gauntlet to do the right thing: motivate them appropriately, inspire them profusely, and reward them generously. This is what Learn Africa Education Development Foundation has chosen to do in close collaboration with NECO”. The whole essence of the Learn Africa-NECO Excellence Awards is to bring out to the fore the greatness in every child, in the shape and form that everyone can touch, feel and readily identify with.
The awards presentations were held in two categories, i.e. national and state. The state awards started on 17 November, 2015 and ran through till 26 November, 2015 at Learn Africa regional offices nationwide where prizes were given to the best three candidates and their teachers. Books were also donated to the Libraries of the schools that produced the three best performing candidates in each state.
The national category took place on Wednesday, 2 December, 2015 at the Protea Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos, where seven (7) students and a teacher (from the school that produced the overall best student) were awarded various prizes.  
The national awards were presented to the overall best three candidates: Alabi Philip Toluwase of Our Lady & St. Francis Catholic College, Osogbo, Osun State (first position), Nwaoha Justin Ifeanyi of Isolog College, Ojodu, Lagos State (second position) and Babalola David Oluwasayo of Oritamefa Baptist Model School, Ibadan, Oyo State (third position).
In addition to these awards, prizes were given to the overall best students in four (4) selected subjects: English Language, Mathematics, Biology and History. New Concept Prize for the Best Grade in English Language was presented to Nanpon Sodhan Burnan from Government Secondary School, Kamkun (Plateau State), New Concept Prize for the Best Grade in Mathematics was presented to Oseghare William Herbert from O.A.U. International School, Ile-Ife (Osun State), John KeziahDalyop from Imperial High School, Bauch-Wunti Dada ( Bauchi State)  received Dr.  Ameyo Stella Adadevoh Prize for the Best Grade in Biology while the J.F. Ade-Ajayi Prize for the Best Grade in History was received by Muhammad Ishaka Babachana from Ayetoro-Gbede  (Kogi State).
The best teacher award was given to Dr. Oyebiyi Paul Olatunde of Our Lady & St. Francis College, Osogbo Osun State.
Present at the award ceremony for the National winners were dignitaries, members of the Board of Trustees of Learn Africa Plc., representative from NECO, representatives from the Ministry of Education and students.
At the end of the exercise this year, Learn Africa Education Development Foundation had given valuable prizes to 111 students, consisting of the three best performing students in each state and the Federal Capital Territory (Abuja). The three best performing students collected their prizes in 13 zonal centers namely Ikeja, Kano, Ibadan, Zaria, Jos, Enugu, Benin, Owerri, Akure, Ilorin, Abuja, Onitsha and Port Harcourt. It is also quite heart-warming to know that all the past award winning students are well placed in leading institutions both in Nigeria and overseas
Learn Africa Plc. remains our timeless one-stop learning resource and they are doing a lot to reward and encourage excellence in the Education sector in Nigeria.
