The Corona School Trust Council has reiterated its dedication to nurturing students with robust academic prowess, leadership qualities, and essential life skills for navigating a dynamic world. This commitment was emphasized following the graduation of 52 students from the school's Agbara Campus in Ogun State.

Mr. Innocent Oaikhena, the Principal of Corona School, Agbara, highlighted the transformation of the graduating students from a diverse group of young learners into a cohort distinguished by exceptional academic achievements and outstanding extracurricular accomplishments. He noted that this graduating class secured some of the nation's highest scores in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), alongside notable successes in sports, music, arts, and community service.

They came in here with so much diversity in very many areas, background, talents, academic credits, extracurricular skills, interpersonal relations and music.

Failure and rejection are inevitable. They are not verdicts on your worth. Opportunity favours those who are already working, not those waiting idly for it to arrive.

Keynote speaker Mr. Adeyinka Ogunnubi, Group Treasury Manager at CFAO Nigeria Plc, advised the graduates to embrace resilience, humility, and hard work as they embark on the next chapter of their lives. Drawing parallels from literature, he reminded them that privilege carries responsibility and that success is built on perseverance, mentorship, and consistent effort. Ogunnubi stressed that failure and rejection are inevitable parts of life, not indicators of personal worth, and that opportunity favors the proactive.

Miss Chikaima Nsofor was recognized as the valedictorian, having earned multiple academic and extracurricular awards. Oaikhena described her as an exceptional all-around student, noting her academic gifts, her achievements as a decorated rugby player, and her formidable public speaking skills. Chikaima's mother, Mrs. Uchenna Nsofor, praised the school's management and staff for their role in the students' academic and moral development, calling Corona School "a fertile ground for undiluted character development."
