EMPLACE COLLEGE SOARS TO GLOBAL GLORY: Two Students Earn Prestigious Honour to Represent Nigeria at World Chemistry Olympiad Competition
In the ever-evolving landscape of education, where excellence remains the true measure of greatness, Emplace College, Akure, has once again demonstrated why it stands among the leading citadels of learning in Nigeria.
The institution has added another golden feather to its cap as two of its brilliant students secured qualification to represent Nigeria at a prestigious global Chemistry competition, an achievement that has attracted admiration from educational stakeholders within and beyond the shores of the nation.
Earlier on March 19, 2026, Democrat News Magazine, in fulfillment of its social responsibility as a people-oriented media organization, beamed its searchlight on Emplace College as one of the fastest-rising educational institutions in Nigeria.
Today, the school’s latest international accomplishment further validates that assessment, reinforcing its growing reputation as a centre of academic excellence, innovation, and character development. Indeed, the biblical declaration in Proverbs 22:29, “Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men,” finds practical expression in the inspiring story of this remarkable institution.
The qualification of two Emplace College students to represent Nigeria on the global stage in Chemistry is not merely a victory for the school but a moment of pride for Ondo State and the entire nation. It reflects years of intentional investment in quality education, strategic mentoring, and the cultivation of academic excellence.The feat underscores the institution’s unwavering commitment to producing students who can compete favourably with their counterparts anywhere in the world.
This achievement comes on the heels of several outstanding successes recorded by the institution. During a recent visit to the office of the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor of Ondo State, Prince Ebenezer Adeniyan, ten exceptional students of Emplace College were celebrated for emerging among the best performers in the Olympiad Competition and representing Ondo State at the national level. Such accomplishments continue to testify to the school’s culture of excellence and its determination to nurture future leaders, innovators, and global change-makers.
From humble beginnings over two decades ago with only two daycare pupils under the umbrella of Mummy’s Place International School, the educational vision has blossomed into a formidable institution recognized for academic distinction at state, national, and international levels. The remarkable growth story reflects resilience, strategic planning, divine direction, and an unwavering dedication to raising a generation equipped for excellence in every sphere of human endeavour.
At the centre of this success story is the visionary Proprietress, Dr. (Mrs.) Damilola Oshin, whose passion for education transcends the ordinary. Widely respected for her transformational leadership and compassionate heart, she has consistently combined academic rigor with moral values and humanitarian service. Through scholarships, educational support, and mentorship initiatives, she has touched countless lives, giving hope and opportunities to many indigent students whose dreams might otherwise have remained unrealized.
The institution’s impressive record also includes international recognition for its students. One of its science students recently received the prestigious Best Student of the Year Award from the Legacy Elite Club after achieving an exceptional WAEC result of eight distinctions and one B2. Such honours continue to project Emplace College onto the global stage as a school where excellence is not an occasional event but a culture deeply embedded in its foundation.
The latest global Chemistry qualification represents what many observers have described as an “exceeding increase and weight of glory” upon the institution. It further underscores the conviction of the school’s founder and visioner, who has repeatedly affirmed that founding and funding schools is a divine ministry entrusted to her by God. Her vision has always been to raise godly seeds who will impact society positively across all fields of human endeavour, from science and technology to leadership, entrepreneurship, and public service.
As Emplace College continues to break barriers and set new standards, its story remains a shining testimony to the power of vision, faith, diligence, and purposeful leadership. The institution’s emergence as a global academic force serves as an inspiration to schools across Nigeria and Africa. Without doubt, Emplace College is not merely educating students; it is raising world changers, national ambassadors, and future leaders whose light will continue to shine brightly across the nations of the earth.
For record purposes, Mummy’s Place International School, Akure, the Primary School arm, has consistently distinguished itself as a beacon of educational excellence in Nigeria. On October 5, 2022, during the celebration of World Teachers’ Day, the school was officially recognized as the Best Private School in Nigeria.
The prestigious honour was accompanied by a Certificate of Excellence and the presentation of a brand-new 18-seater bus, in recognition of the school’s outstanding commitment to quality education, academic excellence, character development, and its remarkable contributions to the advancement of the nation’s educational sector.
This landmark achievement further reinforced Mummy’s Place International School’s reputation as one of Nigeria’s leading institutions, setting a high standard for excellence in teaching, learning, and educational leadership.
