The Head Teacher of the LEA Islamiyya School, Aishatu Yamta Bukar, while speaking when she led the participating pupils on an appreciation visit to the LEA Secretary of Kwali, Mr Peter Leda, in his office on Tuesday, said she decided to lead the pupils to come and appreciate him for his support, which she noted, led to the victory of the school during the competition.

She also appreciated the Head of Department of Ethics and Value of the LEA, Hajiya Rakiya Ayuba, in ensuring that her school participated in the competition.
Mr Leda, while congratulating the pupils for their performance, said he was overwhelmed seeing the school emerged as the overall winner of competition among primary schools in the FCT.
He said he was not surprised to see the Islamiyya school emerging in first position because Kwali was the educational zone of the FCT.
