According to Sani, the Minister of State for Education, Dr. Sununu in his address, enjoined the staff and students of the school to continue to be good ambassadors of Nigeria not only in Saudi Arabia but the entire Gulf States Cooperation Council.

He noted that after a careful assessment of the school’s learning facilities such as Examination Halls, Class rooms, Laboratories, Library, Curriculum and syllabus as well as the general security of the school, the Nigeria International School Jeddah was found worthy of consideration as an International Centre for NECO SSCE Internal, and was consequently granted full Accreditation.
