How can you say UPSS can’t be compare with those school? Then you don’t know the school that well. The so call Igbinedion Educational Centre can’t even stand their ground against public schools in Edo state talkless of UPSS. Igbinedion Educational Centre don’t even come out for competitions and if they do please check not even in the first 5. They can’t even beat UDSS nor even UPSS.. The most feared school is UPSS so if Igbinedion Educational Centre can’t stand their ground around the state how can they stand their ground in the country or waec?…
