In its strive to reignite the spirit of excellence amongst Students of Arts Subjects in Secondary schools, the WOREC has organised a quiz Competition for Senior Secondary Schools students in Ibadan.
The programme, tagged: APKA 2024 Conference, an Annual Competition with the theme: Inspiring Students Interest in Arts Subjects was instituted by the General Overseer World Outreach Revival Centre (WOREC) and President Federation of Covenant Minister’s Association of Nigeria (FOCMAN), Apostle Peter Kolawole Akanji to mark his birthday
The senior class students drawn from four selected private schools, namely Divine Success College, Peniel Model College, Morning Star Comprehensive College and Triumph College all in Egbeda Local Government Area of Oyo State.
The participants attempted thirty questions, comprising ten questions each in Christian Religious Studies, Civic and Current Affairs and English and Literature-in-English after which top scorers emerged and were presented with certificates and prizes.
Adeonigbagbe Daniel from Triumph College emerged first position while Akinosun Fikayo from same school got second position, Adebayo Ayomiposi and Oshodi Ooreoluwa from Morning Star Comprehensive College, came third and fourth positions consecutively.
I feel happy and victorious emerging the overall best. The objective of this competition is achieved because the competitive nature of this conference helps to boost people when there’s various competition , people strive to surpass each other therefore boosting their interest in the line which is Arts. Being an Arts student is challenging, there’s inferiority amongst secondary school students, the inferiority complex, the arts students feel inferior to science and commercial students, they need to boost their self esteem and compete favourably with their colleagues in the world.”
Chairman, Organising Committee of the Competition, Surveyor Kunle Ojedapo, noted that the quiz competition was an educational intervention to free arts students from the shackles of inferiority complex and downcast in their academic pursuit.
The general belief is that Arts students are weak academically, this is to prove everybody wrong that students in arts class are genius and can stand shoulder -to-shoulder with their counterparts anywhere in the world. The sky is just the passage to them, once they’re relentless, they can reach the peak of their career and make their parents and the nation proud.”
On his part, Apostle Peter Akanji, the initiator of the intervention programme, flanked by his wife, Anthonia, explained that the annual competition would serve as motivating platform for secondary school students who are in arts class to attain academic excellence.
Apostle Akanji, noted students in arts class are no push aside , hence the need to stop all forms of discriminations against them and include them in various level of empowerments to enhance their competitive relevance across the world.
