He urged other students to aspire to win the award in the next Valedictory Service by developing themselves academically, and building healthy academic rivalry among themselves.

A parent and member of the Parents-Teachers Association, Mr. Higo on behalf of the Association appreciated the kind gesture of the Foundation, and noted that the recognition would go a long way in encouraging students to read and study diligently. He urged other parents to provide
enabling learning atmosphere for their children/wards so as to complement the efforts of the teachers and Old Boys of the school.

Established in January 2012, Derek John Bullock Endowment Foundation was aimed at perpetuating the legacy of the late Derek John Bullock (1926 - 2009) in secondary school education in Nigeria. Dereck John Bullock, a principal in Government College Ibadan between 1960 and 1968, dedicated his entire life to imparting the very best secondary school education to his students, and also made it possible for a significant number of indigent students to attend schools in which he served by paying their tuition fees from his own pocket.
