Mr. Olowo Olalekan, the principal of Phidel College, expressed his pride in the students' achievements, noting that the school’s consistent success aligns with the founder’s vision of nurturing future leaders. “Recording a 100 percent performance in the WASSCE has become our trademark. That is what we are known for,” Olalekan said.
“We had 43 students who sat for this year’s WAEC exams and all of them made it. Two students who made the best results got seven A1 and two Bs, while the least students got four A’s, four B’s and one C. We targeted nine A1 but, unfortunately, that did not happen. However, we shall keep working towards that and I am sure that we will achieve it,” he added.
However, he acknowledged that the school’s target of nine A1s was not met this year, but remained optimistic about achieving it in the future.
Among the standout students were 16-year-olds Imuze Esther Omoyeme and Jimba Aunjolaoluwa Rachael, who both attributed their success to hard work and the support of their teachers and families.

Omoyeme praised her teachers for their dedication, while Rachael noted that her setback in the previous Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) spurred her to excel in the WASSCE.
She said:
“I feel highly elated and I want to thank the teachers for their untiring efforts at making sure that the best in us came out. I also thank the non-teaching staff who ensured that we lacked nothing throughout our stay in the school. I also thank my parents for their support financially, emotionally and morally. Also, the chairman of the school for being a wonderful father to us, may God reward all of them,”
According to Olalekan, the school implements a comprehensive system that prepares students from the moment they enter their final year. This includes a quality assurance department that supervises revision from the first term through to the WASSCE, ensuring students are well-prepared.
The school also focuses on unlocking the potential of students who may struggle academically, providing extra support through intervention classes.
