School honours cleaner, Chioma Ajunwa, Falz
Additional honour came to Miss Josephine Ugwu, a former airport cleaner who became popular for returning N12 million she found at the airport April last year during the 2016 graduation of St Leo’s Catholic Private School, Ikeja recently.
Miss Ugwu, who now works with the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), was honoured along with Olympic gold medalist, Mrs Chioma Ajunwa-Opara, and budding musician/actor, Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz, who is an old boy of the school.
The award was part of two days of activities to mark the graduation programme. It opened with a Valedictory Mass at St. Leo’s Catholic Church, during which the officiating minister counseled the graduands to keep the values they learnt at the school.
“You have had good teachers that taught you to be wise, good, kind, disciplined. These are the people God has used to showcase his good work in your life. You have to uphold these good virtues in your life. If you don’t, you cannot compete favourably with others,” he said.
The school’s head teacher, Rev Sister Felicia Mary Lious, said the pupils had been prepared for life ahead.
“In academics, we have tried all that we know is best for them – to be able to cope with the rigours or subjects that they are going to meet in secondary school. That foundation has been laid. Morally they are prepared. They are disciplined; we also incorporated in them the values of honesty and hard work,” she said.
A parent and chairman of the organising committee for the programme, Mr Remijus Nwandike, said the awards programme was incorporated into the graduation to give the pupils role models as they grow up.
“What actually inspired me is that if you open the pages of newspaper and tune your TV what you hear is that N20 million was stolen, N1.2 million shared among people; so what do we teach our children?
“So, I said look let us pick some people who can show the pupils that honesty, hard work pay, and that integrity still exists in Nigeria,” he said.
