The Ogun State Government is set, today, to honour the 15-year-old student of Ambassadors School, Ota, Miss Faith Adesewa Odunsi, who, last month, won the Global Open Mathematics competition.

Odunsi, who emerged the winner of the global tourney by 30 clear points ahead of opponents from China, the United States (U.S.), Australia, the United Kingdom (UK), South Africa and Germany, first won the hearts of many in 2018 when she set a record in the Cowbellpedia Mathematics Competition by answering 19 questions in 60 seconds.

A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Dapo Abiodun, Kunle Somorin, said also to be honoured were other indigenes of the state that have won academic laurels in different fields. They include Mr. Olasunkanmi Opeifa, Mrs. Oluyemisi Oladejo and Mr. Olalekan Adeeko.

Opeifa, one of the 10 finalists for 2020 Global Teacher Prize, teaches English Language at Government Day Secondary School, Karu-Abuja, but hails from Igbogila in Yewa North Local Council. Oladejo, a teacher with Oronna High School, Ilaro, is the first prize-winner for the 2020 African Writer’s Award, while Adeeko from Baptist Boys High School, Abeokuta, won the 2020 African Union Continental Teacher Prize.

Also to be recognised are Tijani Fatimo of Abeokuta Grammar School; Oguntade Treasure of Molusi College, Ijebu-Igbo and Okusanya Jesutofunmi from Adeola Odutola College, Ijebu-Ode who won the first, second and third prizes respectively at the National Mathematics Olympiad of the National Mathematical Centre in Abuja.

Not even one person from Iganmode Grammar School?
What a shame! IGS used to dominate all these competitions in the 90’s; what happened to my old school?

So you attended Iganmode.
Even up to early 2000, Iganmode was still dominating but right now,the school has really not lived up to expectations both in discipline and academics.
You really need to see their students out even as late as 10am sometimes and I wonder what has really changed with that school.

Meanwhile congrats to Faith and Ambassador College.

Most government run schools in Nigeria no longer live up to expectations. The biggest cause is the waning of discipline and the next is bad teachers.

But that girl is brilliant sha. She even defeated kids from China.

What of Mayflower?

Great
It will go a long way to encourage other kids especially times like this when their uncles and aunties keep screaming "school nah scam"

Great!

God bless this girl for making us proud, not that Chrisland midget that went for an international cow girl style given competition in Dubia.
