THE Chief Executive Officer, Moko Educational Consult, Asaba, Korede Adejumola, has charged parents to take active responsibility in nurturing their children’s academic journey, stressing that no child is dull, only yet to be taught the right way by the right teacher.
He made the call during the graduation ceremony of students from the tutorial centre, a double celebration marking the successful completion of the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examinations (WASSCE) and the outstanding performance in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
In his speech, the CEO reflected on the divine origin of the institution: “When we first conceived the idea of this center, some may have asked, ‘Is it possible?’ But I believed it was. It was not just a dream; it was a vision from God.
“God gave me a vision to establish a tutorial centre that would grow into a global brand. From Moko Educational Consult, we will go to Moko College, this is not just a personal ambition, it is a divine assignment,” he said.
Highlighting the centre’s ethos of discovering and developing the genius in every child, Adejumola added: “I firmly believe that no child is dull. If a child is struggling, it simply means they haven’t met the right teacher or been taught with the right method. When those two align, the genius in every child can be discovered, nurtured, and fully developed.”
According to him, while national statistics show that fewer than 200,000 students nationwide scored 200 and above in the 2025 UTME, Moko Educational Consult defied the odds; 92 per cent of its students scored above 200 in the exam.
Among the top performers was a student who scored 347, with others posting remarkable scores such as 337 and 302. “This is not by our strength. It is the hand of God at work,” the CEO stressed.
He also took a moment to appreciate the educators behind the success story. “We are in an era where very few people aspire to be teachers, but God has blessed us with a team of dedicated, passionate, and hardworking educators. They have given their best, and it shows in the results. I celebrate every one of them today.”
Some graduating students who spoke at the event attributed their success to the intensive academic culture, moral discipline, and one-on-one mentorship they received at the centre.
The event, which was attended by parents, teachers, also witnessed moments of thanksgiving, emotional tributes, and a renewed call for parents to partner more intentionally with educators in shaping the future of the next generation.
