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 call to nuture 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 inspect 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”, the proprietress stressed.

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”.
