Hon. Igboebisi gave the pupils of Obiajulu Igboebisi House – winners of the competition – the sum of fifty thousand naira to sustain their interest in sports as their participation in sporting activities would enhance their physical and mental development.

“When you reward pupils’ excellent performance in sports, it will sustain their interest in sports.

“And it will spur them to aspire to better their performance in sporting activities.

“Again, Obiajulu Igboebisi House, the winner of the competition, is named after my dad to memorialize him,” Igboebisi said.

More so, the head teacher of the school, Mrs. Patience ‘Ochiora’ Okafor, expressed her gratitude to God and individuals, who gave financial and material assistance to the school for the hosting of the school’s inter-house sports competition.

“I am happy that we hosted the event. It’s like a miracle.
