“Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.” — 1 Timothy 5:17

With hearts filled with gratitude, honour, and deep emotions, the entire DMGS family gathers to celebrate a father, a mentor, a spiritual guide, and an exceptional leader — Ven. Chigozie Anieto

Your years of service in Dennis Memorial Grammar School were more than administration; they were years of sacrifice, wisdom, discipline, love, and unwavering commitment to raising young men with godly character and excellence. From your days as Chaplain to your impactful tenure as Principal, you planted seeds that will continue to grow for generations.

You were not just a leader in title, but a shepherd who truly cared. Your words inspired, your prayers strengthened, and your leadership transformed lives. The halls of DMGS still echo with the values, standards, and memories you left behind.

Though seasons change and transitions come, one thing remains certain — you will always be a part of the DMGS story. We sincerely miss your fatherly presence, your guidance, your smiles, your corrections, and the passion with which you served God and the school community.

As we gather for this Testimonial Service in your honour, we do so with thankful hearts, celebrating a man who laboured faithfully in service to God and humanity. Indeed, according to the scripture, you are worthy of double honour.

Thank you for the impact.
Thank you for the sacrifices.
Thank you for the memories.
Thank you for serving with excellence.

DMGS will always remember you.
