The Africa Quality Alliance has named Bishop Okoye Spiritan Secondary School (BOSSS), Rivers State, as Africa’s most admired quality education Christian secondary school of the year.
The declaration was made during the African Quality Achievement Awards and African Quality Congress held recently in Lagos.
During the programme, the executive director, World Quality Alliance, Favour Esorougue, stated that quality and standards are important in building business empires.
She explained that organizations that have quality deficiency would not be able to compete globally, as their services or goods cannot pass the integrity test of regulatory agencies in those countries.
Esorougue enjoined corporate organizations to always maintain standards and quality in their operations, adding that the award given to BOSSS and others was to encourage them to do more.
Also at the programme, the chairman of African Quality Congress, Dr. Stanley Timeyin Ohenhen, said keeping standards and quality should be a way of life as quality remains the only option to managing global brands. While congratulating Bishop Okoye Spiritan Secondary School and recipients of other award categories, Ohenhen charged them to remain on top of their game by upholding standards and quality in their respective organizations.
The programme had as its theme “Leveraging Quality to Develop Creative Solutions for the Future,”. The event was graced by industry experts, captains of industry and brands that have made waves in and outside Nigeria. Over 60 organizations were honoured with various awards.
While reacting to the award, the principal of BOSSS, Very Rev. Fr. Jude Ekemgba, and the Vice Principal/Dean II, Rev. Fr. Vincent Ibe, who came to Lagos to receive the award, expressed gratitude to God for the award conferred on BOSS.
They described the award as one that would propel the school to put in more effort to ensure that the standards and quality for which BOSSS has been known for are sustained.
They equally thanked the organizers of the award for a diligent work that saw Bishop OKoye Spiritan Secondary School so honoured with the prestigious award.
