The Board of Trustees and the Governing Board of Corona Schools’ Trust Council on Friday the 13th of December 2024 at a press briefing flagged off the academic institution’s 70th anniversary celebration in a logo unveiling ceremony.
The flag-off and logo unveil, which took place at the 2024 Annual General Meeting at Corona School Victoria Island, was attended by several members of the Corona Schools board, staff, Parents Teachers Association representatives, and Alumni Association.
Speaking at the event, the CEO, Mrs. Adeyoyin Adesina, explained that the flag-off ceremony is only a prelude to a host of activities lined up to mark the institution’s seven decades of existence.
“To have existed for 70 years in any economy is a major feat, but even more importantly for us is our ability to have recorded steady growth within this period,” Adesina said, adding that as a player in the educational sector, the institution is very proud of the enviable heights attained by its alumni across diverse sectors of the economy.
As part of activities to commemorate the 70 th anniversary celebration, Adesina further explained that the institution will be recognising and rewarding long-serving staff members who have contributed immensely to the growth of the organisation.
“We will be hosting an educator’s roundtable as part of activities to mark this noble feat,” the CEO said, explaining that the forum will host professionals and experts in the educational space who will critically review the country’s educational journey so far, current efforts, and propose thought-provoking ideas that would inform result-oriented policies and generally improve the quality of education in the country.
Reminiscing on the institution's core values over the years, Adesina listed pedigree, integrity, value-driven, self-belief, and the commitment to continue improving the standard of service delivery as the backbone of the institution.
The Chairman of the Governing Board, Honourable Justice Raliat Adebiyi, in her speech, captured the journey of the brand and the significance of the platinum celebration. This was followed by the unveiling of the logo, which was done by the President of the Board of Trustees, represented by Mr. Dotun Sulaiman, along with the Chairman of the Governing Board.
The Anniversary Planning Committee Chair, Mrs. Ayaba Ayo-Joseph, gave details of other activities scheduled to span the entire year, citing the brand’s sustainability, resilience and relevance after seven decades since its establishment as a noble feat worth celebrating.
