Dear Sir,
Congratulatory message on the occasion of 60th Anniversary Celebration.
I wish to congratulate our able erudite and competent principal, Mr. Ituen Okokon on the occasion of the 60th anniversary celebration of our great institution, Comprehensive High School Isong Inyang Abatim, Calabar, Cross River State. It is a thing of great joy that this great citadel of learning has whethered the storm for these number of years.
Without any fear of contradiction, this school is the oldest school in this part of Nigeria, after Hope Waddel Training Institution. Comprehensive High School, Isong Inyang Abatum has produced eminents and world class scholars, who have excelled in different fields of human Among these scholars produced by our great institution are Senator Michael Uche, Dr Moses Ndifon, Rev. father Titus Jeremiah just to mention a few.
For this occasion, Sir, I use this medium to thank you for your landmark achievements in this great institution. Your wealth of experience and your high academic stand has made you a competent school administrator of this great institution. No one else is competent enough to pilot and manage
the affairs of this school but you. This great courage has been repositioned to gain back her lost glory all to your own credit.
Dear Sir, l as the former Senior Prefect of this great institution use this opportunity of the occasion of both anniversary celebration suggest that, these three areas in the school need improvement.
Firstly, the area of sanitation in the school needs to be improved upon. The school need a standard toilet, to meet the demands of the teaming population growth in the school. The toilet should be built with modern facilities. You can bear me witness that the students defecations have litered the whole school because of lack of good toilet facilities. The students should be cautioned on how to keep themselves and the school compound clean at all times. Dumping of refuse indiscriminately in the school should be addressed with all amount of seriousness by the school authority.
Secondly, the school needs to improve in the area of sporting activities. For some years now the school has not organised inter-house sport competitions. This has affected the school in the area of sporting activities. For instance, during the last Governor's cup football competition, the school
crashed out at the group stage in that competition.
This was very shameful indeed. A standard football field should be built in the school. Other sporting events should be organised in the school, like volleyball, lawn tennis and others. Field events facilities like. Javelin, discuss and others should be made available in the school. Athletic events should also be improved upon. The loss glory of the school in sporting activities should be restored in a no distant time.
Thirdly there should be improvement in the area of students staff relationship. A Careful obsevation shows that there is no cordial relationship between the students and the staff of this school. The teachers are harsh to the students. The teachers do not create rooms for students to approach them for counselling. The students rather received wrong advice from the wrong people. This has affected the conducts and behaviours of the students. Some teachers do not keep secrets revealed to them by the students. The teachers should be cautioned on how to handle such secrets from the students. The female staff should be made to counsel the female students and in the same vein, the male teachers should be made to counsel the male, except in the area of specialty, but let one other person be present while the counselling is going on.
I therefore thank you personally for piloting the affairs of this school descreetly and judiciously. If all the areas mentioned are give priority attention, I assure you that you will have a successful tenure in your stay in this school.
Thank you very much.
Yours faithfully,
Emmanuel Akposi
