St. John Vianney Science College Wins Anambra’s Best Private School Award
St. John Vianney Science College, Ukwulu, has won the Best Private School of the Year award at the fifth edition of the Anambra Man of the Year (AMTY) Awards, further cementing its reputation as one of Nigeria’s leading secondary schools.
The award was presented at the AMTY Awards ceremony held on Saturday, July 18, at the Stanel Dome in Awka, in recognition of the school’s outstanding achievements in academic excellence, innovation and leadership development.
The institution has recorded remarkable successes in recent years, earning recognition both within and outside Nigeria. In 2025, it won the National Head Girls Competition in Lagos, where its Head Girl emerged Head Girl of the Year for outstanding innovation. The school also emerged among the winners of the Nationwide Inter-Senior Secondary Schools E-Debate Championship held in Abuja.
Its international profile grew after representing Nigeria at the maiden UK-Nigeria Debate Championship, where it defeated top schools from Nigeria and the United Kingdom to emerge overall champions. Building on that achievement, two students from the school have been selected to represent Nigeria at this year’s World Schools Debating Championships in Kenya.
