The global president of the association, Mr Peter Adekunle
disclosed this at the 50th anniversary of the 1969/1973 sets, and the
commissioning of the interlocking access road project executed by the sets in
the school.
Adekunle said the gesture was to appreciate the staff of the
school for the performance of the students and motivated them to do more.
According to him, the association had challenged the staff
of the school after students recorded woeful results in external some
examinations.
He added that old students of the school would do more to
encourage the teachers if they can keep working hard for the students to get
better results.
He said: “The 1969/1973 sets are celebrating their 50th
anniversary and they decided to put paving stones from the main entrance of the
gate down to the school building.
“In previous years, we discovered that our students have not
been doing well unlike in the past when we excel in academics, sports and
various kinds of endeavours. When we saw that the students were not doing well,
we challenged the teachers. We conducted training on Information and
Communications Technology for the teachers and we saw the result of the
training.
“Ninety-six per cent of our students have 5 credits during
the last West African Examinations Council and we rewarded all the teachers
including non-academic staff with the sum of N1.5m. We also told them that the
more the percentage keeps increasing, the further we will give them more
money.”
