Ebelechukwu International Group of Schools Nkpor in Idemili-North Local
Government Area of Anambra State has taken the world by storm following her
sterling performance at a national quiz competition held in Lagos state
recently.
The school which has been in operation for over a decade now has continued to
stand out amongst schools in Anambra state, winning statewide competitions and
gathering more momentum as a trailblazer in the state education sector.
Director and proprietor of Ebelechukwu International Group of Schools Akuzor
village in Nkpor community, Chief Timothy Ebelechukwu Chukwukelu, who
told the story of how Ebelechukwu International Group of Schools was birthed at
a brief reception ceremony for the contingent held at the schools' newest two storey
building extension, said the school began with a vision to provide qualitative
education for every strata of the society especially for the children of the
poorest of the poor.
Prior to his inroad in the education sector, Chief Timothy Ebelechukwu Chukwukelu,
recalled with hindsight his philanthropic gestures across Nkpor community where
he singlehandedly provided borehole water facilities in villages, towns and
churches regardless of denominations.
According to him, 191 schools participated in the national competition and in
the end, Ebelechukwu International Group of Schools emerged Second Runner-up,
noting that it was indeed a great feat for the school, for Nkpor community, for
Idemili-North LGA, for Anambra state and for the nation at large.
The Director who disclosed that it was the first time the school would be
involved in such high profile competition, noted that the victory was a product
of hardwork, resilience and team spirit, adding that the students and their
teachers really worked assiduously to win the national recognition for
Ebelechukwu International Group of Schools.
Principal of the junior section of Ebelechukwu International Group of Schools
Campus 3 Umunya Oyi Local Government Area and coordinator of the competition,
Mr. Roland Nwekeson, said the students were trained properly for the
competition and at the end of the programme, they were amongst the best three
schools at the national spelling competition out of 191 schools across
the country, adding that the future of the school is bright because the next
target, according to him, is to conquer the African continent and the rest of
the world.
Meanwhile team leader of the
student contingent to the national spelling competition in Lagos state, Miss
Chikamso Genevieve Ngwu, an SS2 student of Ebelechukwu International Group of
Schools, described the competition as exceptional as it was different from the
inter-campuses, local and state competitions the school had previously
attended.
She said this time the school participated in a competition where they had the
privilege to meet and compete with brilliant students from different states of
the federation. Miss Ngwu confessed that the three-day competition was very
tasking but they eventually made it to the top through hardwork, commitment,
God's grace, preparations and prayers.
For Mr. Ausca Atiata, who is the principal of Ebelechukwu International Group
of Schools Campus 1, the school is passionate about raising a total child.
Atiata stated that the school has always been successful in all the
competitions it has attended in the past, noting that their success stories
have been built on the foundations of hardwork, passion and commitment.
According to him, any child registered at Ebelechukwu International Group of
Schools is well taken care of in terms of education, moral standards and
otherwise. He therefore disclosed that when the school team went for the
preliminaries at Obosi, they were victorious and thereafter proceeded to Lagos
state for the national encounter where they were subjected to various rigorous
stages of the competition and thereafter won in flying colours out of 191
schools across Nigeria.
Mr. Atiata who expressed optimism that Ebelechukwu International Group of
Schools would replicate her national honour at African school quiz competitions,
said the school is poised for global recognition because it is seriously
committed and passionate about raising world-class scholars for the
international market.
