The graduating students of Chrisland Schools have been advised to be advocates of a better Nigeria, rather than joining in lamenting the woes and present predicament of the country.
They were encouraged to be innovative, disciplined and hardworking, saying these are the necessary ingredients to make them succeed in a challenging country like Nigeria. 
A total of 336 students of the conglomerate schools offering education for nursery, primary and secondary school categories, graduated across its six branches in Lagos and Abuja.
The joint ceremony, themed: ‘Propelled for greatness,’ was held in Lagos, with eminent personalities in attendance. The Managing Director, Ibironke Adeyemi, urged the graduating students to be guided by the core values of discipline, integrity, professionalism, love and excellence instilled in them while in school.
She said: “You are indeed phenomenal stars, and I am extremely proud of you. In the course of your sojourn in Chrisland, you were exposed to enriching academic programmes and you took part in various sporting activities and co-curricular programmes. At one time or the other, especially in years nine and 11, you attended training programmes at local and international levels to boost your leadership and capacity-building skills, which prepared you to compete favourably with your counterparts anywhere in the world.
