Captain Callistus Okhaishie has commended AiFei Chinese School and its founder for creating an institution that is gradually emerging as an important platform for cultural exchange, education, empowerment, and meaningful collaboration in Nigeria.
Speaking on the growing influence of the school, Captain Okhaishie described AiFei Chinese School as more than an educational institution, noting that it has developed into an empowering cultural hub where people can connect, learn, exchange ideas and build bridges between Nigerian and Chinese communities.
According to him, the school’s vision reflects the importance of exposing Nigerians, particularly young people, to international languages, cultures, knowledge and opportunities. He noted that the learning of the Chinese language and understanding of Chinese culture can create new avenues for communication, business relationships, academic cooperation and international networking.
Captain Okhaishie also praised the founder for demonstrating vision, commitment and courage in building a platform that promotes cultural understanding and synergy. He emphasized that institutions such as AiFei Chinese School have an important role to play in preparing the younger generation for an increasingly interconnected global environment.
He further observed that cultural education can go beyond the classroom when it is deliberately connected to entrepreneurship, diplomacy, technology, business and social development. In his view, AiFei Chinese School is positioning itself to contribute meaningfully to this broader vision by creating opportunities for people to interact across cultural boundaries.
The Captain stressed that Nigeria’s relationship with China continues to create opportunities in areas such as trade, education, infrastructure, technology and investment, making cultural and language understanding increasingly valuable.
He therefore encouraged the management of AiFei Chinese School to continue expanding its programmes and partnerships while maintaining its commitment to excellence, innovation and cultural integration.
Captain Callistus Okhaishie’s commendation highlights the growing recognition of AiFei Chinese School as a platform that is not only teaching a language but also building cultural bridges, empowering people and creating synergy for a more connected Nigeria and global community.
