Obe, who was the chairman of the occasion, emphasised that education would be given greater attention next year as he encouraged the pupils to keep growing in their academics and make use of their talents.

He said the sports competition in schools is a talent hunt where the children’s talents are discovered, urging the parents to always support their children.
