it all started with the 'Meet A Leader programme' at the school’s premises at
Alaka, Surulere, Lagos. Professionals from all works of life, graced the
occasion and this, Dame Chinwe Anya-Nwakwo the School's Proprietress, said was to serve an an inspiration to the young pupils in the school.
The
Lagos State Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice, Mr. Adeniji Kazeem

zulu dance performance will remain vivid in the memory of all that was at the
event. The vote of thanks was ably delivered by Mrs Joy Ozims before the
