Eko Hot News reports that the event, held at the school’s campus, was designed to bridge classroom learning with real-world career experiences by bringing accomplished professionals from various fields to engage directly with learners.

As institutions renowned for delivering a unique blend of the American and Nigerian curricula, Springfield Private School and Bosede Idehen International Academy transformed the annual Career Day into an enriching educational experience, allowing students to interact with professionals whose careers continue to shape society.

The programme featured distinguished resource persons, including Barr. Adekunbi, who enlightened learners on the legal profession and the importance of justice, integrity, and advocacy.

Education expert Mrs. Shaba spoke passionately about the teaching profession, describing teachers as nation builders whose impact extends far beyond the classroom.

Representing the Nigerian Army, Mr. Momoh encouraged the learners to embrace discipline, courage, patriotism, and resilience, stressing that these values remain essential regardless of one’s chosen profession.

Financial expert Mr. Benjamin Ifan, an accountant, introduced students to the importance of financial management, accountability, and ethical leadership in business and public service.

Healthcare professional Mrs. Aluku, a nurse, inspired learners by sharing practical experiences from the medical field while encouraging those interested in healthcare careers to remain focused on their studies and develop compassion for humanity.

The interactive sessions provided students with the opportunity to ask questions, gain practical career insights, and understand the educational pathways required to succeed in their chosen professions.

Speaking during the event, the Director of Springfield Private School and Bosede Idehen International Academy, Mrs. Maureen Idehen-Ovabor, reaffirmed the institutions’ commitment to providing learners with educational experiences that meet global standards.

Mrs. Idehen-Ovabor, a respected pharmacist with extensive professional experience in the United States, explained that the schools’ blended American and Nigerian curricula were carefully designed to ensure learners receive quality education comparable to international standards.

According to her, every programme organised by the schools is intentionally structured to expose students to opportunities that prepare them for success in an increasingly competitive global society.

“The global experience I have acquired is exactly what I want every learner in our schools to experience. While our students are here in Nigeria, they deserve educational opportunities that prepare them to compete confidently with their peers anywhere in the world.

“Through our blended curriculum and continuous investment in innovative learning, we are building children who will become future leaders, innovators, and responsible global citizens.”

She further explained that Career Day is more than a celebration of different occupations, noting that it is an opportunity for learners to appreciate the sacrifices made daily by parents and professionals who contribute to national development through their various careers.

The Director emphasized that one of the central messages delivered during the programme was that every profession deserves respect because each plays an indispensable role in building a functional society.

She explained that farmers produce food, teachers educate future leaders, lawyers defend justice, healthcare professionals preserve lives, accountants promote financial accountability, while security personnel safeguard lives and property.

Mrs. Idehen-Ovabor expressed delight at the successful organisation of the event, commending members of staff and the management team for their dedication, creativity, and professionalism in delivering a memorable Career Day.

She also appreciated parents for their continued support and active participation, describing them as valued partners in the holistic development of the learners.
