Speaking with The Nation, Kristbethel School’s Executive Director, Mrs. Olusoji Cline, expressed her delight at the success of the day’s event: “I think it was a good event. In spite of being on a Monday, parents turned out. I’m just happy. I’m also amazed at the fact that the performances weren’t affected by Ramadan and lent fasting. I look forward to a bigger and more fun-filled event in two years’ time.”
College Principal, Dr. Timothy Oyetade said: “It’s a success story. The students prepared assiduously for two months; there were a number of technical hitches, but we were able to overcome them.
On the performances, Oyetade said: “There were some students that we felt were not likely to perform, but it was those same students who showed up for their different houses.”
He said he wasn’t surprised Red House emerged tops in the college category, having led right from the heat and showed potential of champions.
