The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board examination which held on Saturday, the 24th of April may have come and gone, but the examination body will not forget in a hurry, what a school located in far away Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, Archdeacon Brown Education did to her.

Some of the fine students when took part in the exam made sure they shuck JAMB to her bones by scoring above the 300 threshold to come out victorious amongst the amount of failure witnessed in this year’s examination.

According the result released, JAMB stated that only 5% of the candidates made 300 and above and 13 students from Archdeacon Brown Education Centre was amongst the 5% of Nigerian students who made the country proud.

The Executive Director of the school and former Managing Director of the Nigeri Delta Development Commission, NDDC, Dame Ibim Semenitari in her reaction to the accolades brought her school by these 13 students wrote on her Social Media hands thus.

“For perspective, let me share the statistics as released by JAMB and then you will understand why our hearts are so thankful. Archdeacon Brown Education Center Boarding and Day Secondary Schools both sent a total of 42 children to write the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board JAMB examinations. Out of these 13 scored 300 and above placed against a national average of 0.05 percent of the 1.8million students who wrote the examination”.

According to her, “For us this is not happenstance. It is the result of deliberate and intentional actions which were blessed by God on whom we build. What are you still waiting for, our arms are wise open to receive your priceless children”. 

Archdeacon Brown Education Centre, ABEC for short is a group of schools that has over the years pioneered unique concepts in education in Nigeria, building characters and minds that will march proudly and confidently into the future as useful contributors to the growth of their country and of the world at large.
