Daniel Philips, a JSSI student of Yewa Junior High School, Agege took many by surprise when he competed majestically against Senior Secondary Students of other schools to take the third position in the highly cerebral competition.
In an exclusive chat with the Philips family, AgegePulse learnt that Daniel made history as the first student to win in the Spelling Competition twice. He was the winner of the Junior Category in 2016 when he was in primary six.
Also, It was learnt that Daniel alongside the One-Day Governor and Deputy Governor, will begin his executive visitation on Monday 11th when he will be guest to Senator Oluremi Tinubu at her residence.
They would be meeting the number one family of Lagos State on Tuesday 12th before the grand finale of performing their official duties as One-Day Governor, Deputy and Speaker of the LSHA respectively on Wednesday 13th September, 2017.
Moreover, it may interest you to know that Lagos State Government has concluded plans to take Daniel Philips and his team on Education Tourism to Finland later in the year for their excellent performances at the Spelling Bee Competition.
