From the Left : Bliss Ojeruse ( SHADE-IN ), Solomon Ohiomokhai ( REMO Foundation ), Mrs Abiola Idufueko ( CONGOs President ) The visit was prompted by an issue reported, of a student sitting for National Examinations Council (NECO) exam, who returned home with a blank ID card. This was a thing of concern as it poses suspicion that this process aids examination malpractice. This discovery was taken up by CONGOs being raised by a member of the Conference. During the visit, it was discovered that the ID card issued was an initiative to cover up for the lapses of NECO, as the team was informed that the ID card was done for formality. It was observed that NECO is disorganised unlike WAEC with limitations ranging from unavailability of mark and attendance, IT aided checks, I...

TEENAGERS CHOICE CONFERENCE (TCC)

TCC is a conference of emerging leaders in our nation and beyond. It is a conference designed to challenge the minds of our teenagers in the area of leadership, capacity and character. This year we are working on a theme titled “ THE FOCUS” . We are quite aware of the danger of this information age where information is easily accessible by young people, thereby distracting them from having good relationship with their parents, peers and most especially their maker and creating redundancy in their development and performance. Having known from studies that natural play is essential for students growth and development, it is therefore pertinent that we teach these children on how to concentrate on one thing at a time and as well have good time for natural play and family union. It is with this understanding we are having the conference this year. Our annual Teenagers Choice Conference (champion teens), the very first of its kind will commence this year with the details ...
