Adeyemi was a guest at a summit with the theme ‘Research for National Development: Nigeria’s Internal Security in Focus’, organised by the Education Writers’ Association of Nigeria (EWAN), recently in Lagos. The summit highlighted the pivotal role of education, research, and collaborative efforts in addressing Nigeria’s socio-economic challenges. 

She stated that the school recognises the importance of collaboration among educational institutions, policymakers, researchers, and industry players in shaping the future of the nation.

“Together, let us continue to strive for excellence, innovation, and the advancement of education for the betterment of our great nation,” she said.

Adeyemi applauded EWAN’s recognition of the school’s commitment to maintaining high standards in education, despite the challenges faced by institutions in the country.
