The aim is to encourage job creation, economic self reliance, and promote constructive and productive engagement of Youths to arrest the problem of Mass unemployment and incidences of anti social activities. As part of the effort of the management of B.B.H.S. (Mission) to facilitate its students social, emotional and cognitive growth and put them on the path to reach their full potentials in life has packaged the works of its students from the PHOTOGRAPHY class (One of the approved trade/entrepreneurial subjects for the school by NECO/WAEC) for the public view. The essence was to create understanding and dynamic result oriented of the photography class. The exhibition was intended to instill in the students the sense of intellectual wonder and aesthetic adventure on the path of still- imaging. Documenting moments – really we cannot go back in time but with these pieces the children are offered the chance to take a step backward and appreciate the time spent, events of the past and happenings in their academic adventure at BBHS. Acquisition of these set skills from the Photography platform will offer the students the opportunity to build a life for themselves and their communities.
