ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE IS KEY, STRIVE TO ACHIEVE IT- EDUCATION CDS GROUP

By -

The Education CDS group in Yakurr LGA organised a seminar, their first sensitisation in 2016, at Girls Secondary School, Ugep on November the 18th. According to the reports made available by the group’s President, Awonuga Oluwaseun, to one of our correspondents, the sensitisation programme which was held with SS2 and SS3 students of the school had only one speaker to expound on a conventional but interesting topic "Striving to achieve academic excellence."

Ms Emanualla Ogugua, the sole speaker for the day, took the students through academic excellence and the need for the students to achieve it. She also pointed out the importance of university education and how “the economy is run by solution providers” who are smart people and, of course, mostly university graduates. The students were then charged to overcome whatever challenges they face during this academic sojourn.
Apart from the students, the 45-minute sensitisation which took place at the school hall was graced by 9 members of the CDS group and some members of staff.

This, merely lends credence to the fact that many communities in the state speak different dialects, hence the diverse culture. “Umor Otutu” Ugep, with an approximate landmass of 141/2 square kilometers, accommodating a sizeable, number of 148 villages and a population of about 205,823, before the 21 century. ‘Umor Otutu” christened Ugep by the early demographers and anthropologists like G.I.
