“When people carried sacrifices with the intention of destroying us, God has always been intervening and defending us. He has multiplied our well-wishers but fell those, who wish us bad. He has always directed them to aimless paths.
“His hand of blessings fell on the school right from inception, when there is need to get funds to build the school, God provided divine helper for us. When we have to get registration from both state and WAEC, our distractors did their best to frustrate us but God created favour for us and ensured that our project did not die. That project we are here today to celebrate.”
