Also one of the teachers of the school who participated in the EkoExcel training, Mr. Zakariyah Isiaq Temitope averred that the exposure given to the teachers during the training exercise was aimed at building intellectually and moral upright school pupils.
He explained that the intention of government was to make the pupils aspire to have their names written for good conduct and subsequently get celebrated, stressing, that the initiative would promote a healthy rivalry for good conduct.
He added that the idea as ordinary as it appears, would be a good way or strategy of addressing the rate moral decadence within the society and will serve as an avenue of correcting the wrongs and ills prevalent in the society today.
