CSTC Board Chairman Leadership Transition
Mr. Olaniyi Yusuf Appointed as the New Chairman of the Corona Schools’ Trust Council Governing Board
We are pleased to announce the successful conclusion of the 59th Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Corona Schools’ Trust Council (CSTC), held on Friday, 12 December 2025. The AGM marked a significant milestone in reaffirming our strategic direction, building on the strong foundation laid during our recent 70th anniversary celebrations.
Following the AGM, the Trust Council witnessed a formal transition of leadership, marking the conclusion of Honourable Justice R.I.B. Adebiyi’s tenure as Chairman of the Corona Schools’ Trust Council after eight years of exemplary and impactful service. Her tenure was characterised by visionary leadership and notable institutional advancements that have significantly strengthened the Corona Schools brand.
Key milestones achieved under her leadership include the successful launch of the Corona e-Learning platform (CE Learn), the establishment of Corona Day Secondary School Lekki, and the extensive redevelopment of Corona School Ikoyi. Her tenure also saw the envisioning of the Tech Hub legacy project, reinforcing the Council’s commitment to innovation and digital advancement, as well as the birth of the Corona Connect series, a corporate social responsibility initiative focused on sponsoring the basic education of out-of-school children in identified underserved communities.
She further had the distinction of leading the Trust Council during the landmark 70th anniversary celebrations, an achievement that reflected Corona Schools’ enduring legacy, institutional excellence, and future-focused vision.
We express our profound appreciation to Justice Adebiyi for her commitment to the nurturing of the Total Child and for setting a standard of excellence that will continue to guide Corona Schools’ Trust Council.
