At the recent Strategic School Management and Outstanding Private Schools Merit Awards, organised by the House of Representatives Committee on Education in conjunction with Family Affairs Consultancy Limited, Logos International Secondary School, LOGISS, a mission school in Awo-Omamma, Imo State, stood out among the other honorees selected from among the countless private schools scattered across Nigeria.

The event which took place at the International Conference Centre, Garki, Abuja, saw the Director of Logos International Secondary Schools, Pastor Bede Oguh, tell those present the story of LOGISS; how it has grown from a dream to its present enviable state.

Ogu traced how the journey to what is today known as LOGISS started in 1994 with a mandate that was truly divine which was given to the General Superintendent of the Watchman Catholic Charismatic Renewal Movement, Pastor Aloysius Ohanebo, to start a Secondary School to help to restore the quality of education in Nigeria and to bring the youths to discipline once again in the school system.

He announced that his organization plans to set up at least one secondary school in every state of the federation. Speaking on the impact made across the world by former students of LOGISS, Pastor Oguh said: “we have students in almost all the continents of the world that have graduated from our school and have had very good and wonderful recommendations from the various places. One of those institutions wrote to our school and called our students ‘legendary Nigerians,” he said.
