Be honest, when you think of a tech school, your mind jumps to code, projects, and maybe the occasional all-nighter with coffee by your side.
But on Saturday, August 29th, 2025, Mita School flipped the script.
At the Dinner and Awards Night 2025, hosted by the Department of Computer and Robotics Education (University of Uyo), Mita didn’t just attend. It became the heartbeat of the evening and walked away with the crown as Best Tech School in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.
So, how did a school that’s known for teaching tech courses end up stealing the spotlight for a night of gowns, and glittering lights? Let’s take you there.
A Red Carpet of Stories
The evening began with flashbulbs, laughter, and elegant fashion. Students, alumni, and lecturers glided down the red carpet, but beneath the smiles were stories of resilience: late-night coding, endless assignments, and a journey that shaped the Class of 2025.
For Mita School, the red carpet wasn’t about fashion. It was about presence, showing up not just as a sponsor, but as a proud partner in shaping the future of tech education. Every handshake, every smile, and every camera flash was a reminder of just how far the students had come and how much further they could still go with the right support.
One Word, A Lifetime of Wisdom
Then came a turning point. Mr. Uwem Etim, Manager of Mita School, stepped up to deliver the dinner lecture. His topic? “Byte–Sized Memories.”
Everyone expected tech jargon, but instead, he told a story:
- Just as bits form a byte, small choices form our big life story.
- Just as bytes store memory, our daily actions become the memory of who we are.
- And just as bytes build complex systems, lessons and struggles build resilience.
The hall went quiet, then exploded with applause. Suddenly, Mita wasn’t just the sponsor. It became the voice of wisdom that turned the night into a life lesson. For many students, it was the most unforgettable part of the evening, a reminder that their struggles weren’t wasted, but stepping stones to something greater.
The Crown Moment
The night’s biggest highlight came when the awards were announced. Amid cheers and applause, Mita School was named Best Tech School in Uyo.
The recognition was a symbol that the school isn’t just teaching, it’s transforming. That it isn’t just running classes, but raising a generation of innovators ready to leave their mark on the world.
More Than Food, More Than Fun
The music was lively, and the dinner was delicious. But the real magic happened around the tables.
Students exchanged dreams with alumni. Sponsors whispered about collaborations. Lecturers and brands shared visions for the future of tech in Uyo. It wasn’t just a night of eating and dancing, it was networking, bonding, and planting seeds of innovation that will shape the tech ecosystem in Akwa Ibom for years to come.
A Gift That Will Last Beyond the Night
Just when everyone thought the surprises were over, Mita School made an announcement that left the graduating class buzzing with excitement.
To support the Class of 2025 as they step into the next phase of their journey, Mita School offered an exclusive 40% discount on any of their tech courses for graduates who chose to enroll.
It was more than just a discount, but a way of telling the students: “We believe in you. We’re ready to walk with you from the classroom into the real world.”
That gesture turned celebration into opportunity. For many graduates, it became the push they needed to take their tech dreams seriously, knowing that the best school in Uyo was ready to back them with both mentorship and affordability.
Why It All Matters
For the Class of 2025, it marked their leap from students to trailblazers.
For the department, it confirmed their role in shaping leaders.
For Mita School, it was a celebration of what has been achieved and a challenge to keep raising the bar.
As one student put it:
“We came for dinner, but we left with dreams much bigger than we imagined.”
Final Note
The Dinner and Awards Night 2025 wasn’t just another event. It was proof that in every “byte” of effort, there’s a memory, a milestone, and a future waiting to be built.
And on that night, Mita School showed everyone that it’s not just building students, it’s building legacies and now, with its 40% gift to graduates, it’s also building opportunities.
