Humsimedia Online gathered that Parliament International School, one of the oldest private schools in the Apo area of Abuja, is known for its academic and sports excellence, is a circular school, prominent for its cultural creativity and high moral standards, and is affordable to all, both the poor and the rich alike.
In his characteristic good humour, Alhaji Abdullahi Yelwa called on parents to continue to have more children who will fill the vacuum left by the graduating students.
Alhaji Yelwa thanked teachers of the Parliament International School, Apo, Abuja, saying they’re doing a great job, especially with the cultural dances they’ve taught the students.
He hailed the cultural orientation of students of the Parliament International School, saying: “Every community is represented here as seen in the dances of the different tribes, signifying that Nigeria does not belong to the Hausa, Yoruba and Ibo only, but to all of us”.
Alhaji Yelwa particularly thanked his wife, Hajiya Hadiza Abdullahi Yelwa for continuing the vision called Parliament International School and prayed that God will grant her more years of life to do much more.
No fewer than 109 students graduated from the Senior Secondary School, while 84 graduated from the Junior Secondary School class.
