Parents, teachers, counsellors, Muslim scholars, and other dignitaries gathered on Sunday, August 10, 2025, for At-Tanzeel Schools’ 6th Valedictory Programme and Haflatul Qur’an.
The ceremony celebrated not only academic excellence, resilience, and discipline, but also the timeless beauty, eloquence, and mastery of Qur’anic recitation.
At the colourful event, 28 students completed their secondary school education, with six outstanding achievers recognised for scoring the highest points in their examinations including the 2025 UTME.
They are: Yusuf Mukhtar Mobolaji (323), Yakub AbdulAzeem Olamide (317), Akintola Khalid Akinbola (294), Ekeolere Musa Olamilekan (292), Raji Al-Ameen Olamilekan (288) and Bello Abdullah Abidemi (283).
With the theme “From Learners to Leaders: Shaping Tomorrow with Purpose,” the graduation also honoured five students—four boys and one girl—who have memorised the entire Noble Qur’an in less than two years of joining the school.
They are: Soyoye Al-Amin Desireola, Agbalajobi Oluwajomiloju Qudus, Abdul Mumin Opeyemi AbdulSobur, Olanloye Adewole Mubarak and Ajadi Hameedah Ayomide.
“This is the 2025 set; we call them the ‘Achievers Set’,” said the Head of School, Mr. Ibrahim Sonola, expressing gratitude to Almighty Allah for a successful academic session. “They are 28 in number, and as part of our school policy, we recognised six who scored exceptionally high – two of them scoring above 300 in UTME. They also excelled in WASSCE, and some have already secured admission into universities in Nigeria.”
Speaking further, Mr Sonola said the school has been able to produce a lot of memorizers of the Qur’an, adding that, “Last year, we produced six, and this year, we are producing five, and hopefully, we will produce more.”
Guest speakers, including Mrs. Kofo Olokun-Olawoyin, Executive Commissioner of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (LASERC), and Dr. Adeniyi Zafaran, CEO of Vanguards Academy, spoke on the role of faith-based education in instilling values, fostering resilience, and equipping students for a rapidly changing world.
Highlights of the ceremony included the presentation of plaque awards and cash rewards of N250 to outstanding graduands, as well as long-service awards to dedicated staff members.
The event – which also featured the launch of the 164-page Year Book, concluded with prayers and a pledge to nurture graduates who carry the Qur’an in their hearts, knowledge in their minds, and values in their actions.
At-Tanzeel runs three core programmes—Qur’anic studies, Arabic language learning, and Western education—supported by highly motivated staff working in partnership with parents to ensure the very best outcomes for every child. This collaboration has been key to the school’s many successes.
