The presiding priest of the oldest West African Church, better known as Holy Aruosa Church, Ohen-Osa Igbinoghodua Edebiri, offered prayer to God of wisdom and guidance for the newborns.

Queen (Oloi) Aisosa Ewuare II is the youngest among the wives of the Benin king.

The group was led by John Osa- Omoregie who thanked the king for his support towards the development of the school and sued for more support.
