Education is Parents' Best Gift to their Children- HENSHAW
The Permanent Secretary in the Cross River State Ministry of Information and Orientation, Mr. Aye Henshaw II has described education as guardians/parents’ best gift to their wards/children.
Mr. Henshaw made the assertion when he recently chaired the maiden inter-house sports competition of the Presbyterian Primary School, Nsidung, Bakassi Local Government Area.
The technocrat maintained that the highest form of education is translating an individual into a compact being, capable of dealing with life in its entirety.
The Permanent Secretary pointed out that apart from acquiring formal education in school, activities such as the inter-house sports competition are capable of producing more Okochas, Mikels, Ronaldos and Messis.
Henshaw thanked management and staff of the school, as well as the traditional institution of Nsidung Community for their collective efforts in making the inter-house sports competition a success, urging them to imbibe a culture of providing quality education to their children and wards.
Earlier in his welcome address, the Head Teacher of the School, Mr. Francis Etim Ene commended parents, individuals and the larger Nsidung Community for finding time out of their busy schedule to grace the maiden edition of the school’s inter-house competition, expressing optimism that subsequent editions would be greater and better.
In separate remarks, the Clan Head of Nsidung, Chief Bassey Asuquo and former Leader of Bakassi Legislature, Hon. Nta Nyong expressed delight at performances of pupils in various sporting competitions and pledged to donate valuable prizes to winners in subsequent editions.
They maintained that the inter-house sports competition afforded pupils opportunity to showcase the wealth of raw talent in them, thanking the Governor, Senator (Prof.) Ben Ayade for giving the school a facelift.
The inter-house sports featured track and field events like sack races, filling the bottle, football, races between old student, parents and staff of the school, climaxing with presentation of trophy to the overall winner – Green House – by the Chairman of the occasion, Mr. Aye Henshaw II
