The establishment of the excellent Model Educational Centre by Deacon Daniel Nosakhare Eghobamien can best be described as an “Act of God”. Originally, it was not the intention of Deacon (Ambassador) Daniel Nosakhare Eghobamien to establish a school on purchase of the landed property, where he started the erection of a huge multi-purpose building along Upper Mission road in New Benin, Benin City. A Pastor’s wife who was passing by stopped over at the site to say hello and during a brief discussion suggested that the building was good enough for a school.
At another time a man who taught the Deacon in the Elementary School met him at the site and also recommended that the magnificent building of a man of understanding and integrity should be dedicated to the training and upbringing of young ones in the likeness of his impeccable character and dedication. It was at this juncture that Deacon D. N. Eghobamien began to give thought to the two separate proposals by persons of fundamental relevance to him (spiritually and educationally).
After a prayerful thought and careful consultations with professionals in education management, a decision was taken to slightly redesign the building to meet the requirements of high standard educational services, portraying diligence, knowledge and faith in God
As the saying goes “nothing good comes easy”. The building, personally supervised by him, took about two years to complete and in the final analysis, the character of good quality for which Nosakhare is synonymous with, was to a great extent impressed on the building just as the Plymouth Brown Bread and Bicycle Bread produced by Nosakhare Eghobamien since 1968 to date.
