The matriculation ceremony took place on November 14, 2024, almost a month after academic activities started in the school.
The school kicked off its academic operations about 240 days after the tragic demise of its founder, Herbert Wigwe, the late Access Bank CEO. Almost a month after it opened its doors to new students, the school officially organised its first matriculation to welcome them.
Eugene Abels, an attendee at the matriculation ceremony, shared a video of Tochi’s speech on his Facebook page.
The young lady mounted the podium and introduced herself after greeting the attendees. She appreciated the students and attendees as she stated that she was representing her family.
The young lady who took photos with the students hailed them for their creativity. She said she always watched them on TikTok, and it made her smile every day.
Tochi said: “I must confess, I’m constantly watching your TikToks and honest;y they make me smile everyday. You guys are so creative; so full of energy its honestly contagious.” She also shared three lessons she has learnt in her life journey.
Her words: “Number one, you only miss opportunities you do not take. Number two, you’re so much stronger and braver than you ever think. And the final one, God will never give you a battle you are not equipped to handle.”
She was moved to tears at the end of her speech as she charged the students to “show up and show out.”
