Abuja School Honours Students, Staff At Graduation Ceremony

DRACC Guest House Hall played host to the Golden Crest Royal Academy, ACO Estate, Lugbe, Abuja, recently when it held its graduation ceremony.

Reflecting on the school’s history since its inception on October 10, 2011, the proprietress, Dr. Unenwojo Sarah Edah, said, “Starting as a creche, with just one child, the school has grown through various stages, becoming a nursery in 2013, a primary school in 2014, a junior secondary in 2017, and finally, a senior secondary school in 2019.”

Expressing joy in providing employment opportunities for young Nigerian graduates, Dr. Edah emphasised the importance of mandatory educational qualifications for school staff, as required by the Federal Ministry of Education.

Edah attributed the school’s success to its commitment to continuous training for teachers, non-academic staff, security personnel, caregivers, and janitors, and a divine vision and calling, stating that the school is a ministry rather than a profit-driven enterprise.

She said, “The school’s mission is to advance the kingdom of God through education, instilling spiritual, academic, and moral excellence in its students, in line with its motto, ‘Excellence By The Spirit’.”

Dan Adaolan was recognised as the best graduating student and most outstanding overall, having excelled in various competitions, including a National Spelling Bee.

The event saw the distribution of 572 awards to students and staff, with special acknowledgement from a non-governmental organisation, St. Philomena Foundation.
