In what can be described as a consistent outstanding achievement, four 2022 graduates of Greensprings School, Emmanuela Ilok, Oreoluwa Moradeyo, Uwadiae Guobadia and Kosisochukwu Okoye, have been distinguished for winning the Top in Country award in five subjects in the recently released 2022 International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) results. 

The students’ achievement makes it the sixth consecutive time since 2016 that Greensprings Students will be awarded as Top in Country in various subjects.  

Over the last six years, Greensprings students have received the country’s top award in subjects like Mathematics, English, Physics, Biology, Global Perspective, Literature, French, Drama etc., and one of them, Honour Olatunji won the Top in the World award in Mathematics in 2016. 

For the recently released 2022 Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards, the students were awarded Top in Country in Physics and First Language English, won by Emmanuela Ilok; information and communication technology, won by Oreoluwa Moradeyo; Biology, won by Uwadiae Guobadia; Literature in English, won by Kosisochukwu Okoye and Emmanuela Ilok. In addition to being the country’s best in these subjects, one of the awardees, Ilok, won the Overall Best Across Eight Subjects in Nigeria award.

Commending the students’ achievements, the school’s acting Deputy Director of Education, Feyisara Ojugo, said, “We are immensely proud of the exceptional accomplishments of our students in the 2022 IGCSE results. Their achievements are a reflection of their commitment, resilience, and hard work. The commendable feat also reinforces our school’s commitment to academic excellence and the dedication of our skilled educators who have supported them throughout their academic journey.” 

She said over the past six years, 25 Greensprings students have won the Top in Country award in various subjects, and one of them won the Top in the World award in Mathematics. 

“This year’s achievement is special because one of the students won the Overall Best Across Eight Subjects in Nigeria award. This is in addition to the Top in Country award in five subjects won by our students altogether. We extend our warmest congratulations to our exceptional students on their outstanding achievements and express our deepest gratitude to everyone who has contributed to their success,” she noted. “These remarkable young individuals truly embody the spirit of excellence, and we have no doubt that they will continue to shine brightly in all their future endeavours.”
