Springfield Private School (SPS) and Bosede Idehen International Academy (BIIA) have once again demonstrated their commitment to raising globally competitive learners by hosting an inspiring and educational Career Day that brought professionals from various fields together to mentor and motivate students.
Titansloaded reports that the event, held on the school premises, reflected the institutions’ vision of delivering world-class education through their unique blend of the American and Nigerian curricula. Rather than limiting the occasion to students dressing in career uniforms, the schools elevated the programme by inviting accomplished professionals to share practical insights into their careers, the challenges they face, and the dedication required to excel in their respective fields.
The resource persons encouraged learners to remain focused on their studies, cultivate discipline, and embrace hard work as the foundation for achieving their career aspirations.
Among the distinguished professionals who addressed the learners were Barr. Adekunbi, who spoke on the legal profession and the importance of justice and integrity; Mrs. Shaba, who highlighted the invaluable role teachers play in shaping future generations; Mr. Momoh, an Army officer, who emphasized patriotism, courage, discipline, and national service; Mr. Benjamin Ifan, an accountant, who educated students on financial responsibility and opportunities within the accounting profession; and Mrs. Aluku, a nurse, who shared her experiences in healthcare and encouraged learners interested in medicine to remain committed to their academic goals.
The interactive sessions provided students with first-hand knowledge of different professions while helping them understand the sacrifices, responsibilities, and dedication required to succeed in each field.
Speaking with journalists during the event, the Director of Springfield Private School and Bosede Idehen International Academy, Mrs. Maureen Idehen-Ovabor, a respected pharmacist with extensive professional experience in the United States, said the school remains committed to exposing learners to international standards of education and preparing them for global opportunities.
According to her, the school’s blended American and Nigerian curriculum is carefully designed to ensure that learners receive the same quality of educational exposure enjoyed by children in advanced countries, particularly the United States.
She explained that although the students are based in Nigeria, the school’s mission is to provide an educational experience that equips them with the knowledge, confidence, and skills needed to compete successfully on the global stage.
“The global experience I have acquired is what I want every learner in this school to experience. They may not be in America today, but through our curriculum and educational standards, we are determined to expose them to opportunities that prepare them for global relevance. I strongly believe that one day they will appreciate the unique educational foundation they are receiving here—an experience they may not easily find elsewhere in Nigeria,” she said.
Mrs. Idehen-Ovabor noted that Career Day is not only about exposing learners to different professions but also about helping them appreciate the sacrifices their parents and professionals make daily to provide for their families and contribute meaningfully to society.
She stressed that one of the key messages delivered during the programme was that no profession is superior or inferior to another, as every occupation plays a critical role in nation-building.
According to her, farmers ensure food security, teachers nurture future leaders, healthcare professionals save lives, lawyers uphold justice, accountants promote financial accountability, security personnel protect lives and property, while professionals in many other sectors contribute significantly to the growth and development of every nation.
She encouraged the learners to respect every profession and understand the importance of collaboration in building a prosperous society.
The event also featured engaging career exhibitions, interactive discussions, and question-and-answer sessions, giving students the opportunity to interact freely with the invited professionals and gain practical insights into their desired career paths.
Mrs. Idehen-Ovabor commended members of staff and the management team for organizing what she described as a well-coordinated and highly successful programme.
She also expressed appreciation to parents who attended the event, acknowledging their continued partnership and unwavering support towards the holistic development of the learners.
The Director reaffirmed the school’s commitment to organizing programmes that broaden students’ horizons, strengthen leadership skills, and prepare them to excel in an increasingly competitive global environment.
The successful Career Day once again underscored Springfield Private School and Bosede Idehen International Academy’s reputation as institutions committed to academic excellence, character development, innovation, and raising future leaders equipped for global relevance.
