KingsField College, Ikorodu, Lagos State, has celebrated 20 years of academic growth and institutional development, with its management, staff and students reflecting on the school’s journey from humble beginnings to a thriving centre of learning.
The milestone was marked at a press conference held on Tuesday at the school’s multipurpose hall, where stakeholders highlighted the institution’s achievements, challenges and plans for the future.
Speaking at the event, the Proprietress of Kingsfield College, Mrs Susan Nkechiyere Iluno, expressed gratitude to God for the milestone, describing the anniversary as a testament to faith, resilience and dedication. She commended members of the school’s leadership, particularly Mrs Hannah Amali (principal of Ijede Campus), Mrs Joy Okafor (Ebutte Campus)and Mr Adedire Kayode (Head Master Kingsfield Nursery & Primary School), for their contributions to the institution’s growth.

He urged the school community to approach its next chapter with a shared vision, collaboration and innovation, stressing that sustained commitment to excellence would remain central to the institution’s future.
The school’s competitive exploits also featured prominently at the anniversary celebration, with Amali highlighting KingsField’s victory at the Young Junior Engineers competition.
