With his beloved wife, Mrs. Margaret M. Malu
Welcome to Adue International Schools, a place where dreams take flight and futures are forged. When I founded this institution in 2021, I envisioned a school that would not merely educate children, but transform them into confident, responsible global leaders.
The name "Adue" — meaning "to blossom" in Tiv — was chosen in honour of my beloved mother, whose sacrifices and love shaped the leader I became today. It is my prayer that every child who walks through our gates will blossom into their fullest potential.
At AIS, we combine the best of Nigerian and British educational standards with a deep commitment to character, integrity, and faith. Our students are not just prepared for examinations; they are prepared for life.
"Education is the greatest gift we can give our children. At AIS, we are committed to giving them the very best."
Join us on this journey of excellence. Together, we will build a generation of leaders who will transform Nigeria and the world.

To promote lifelong learning in a transparent and caring environment that empowers students to be confident and responsible global leaders.
To be the leading school focused on equipping students with outstanding global leadership skills that withstand the test of time.
AIS organises several strategically planned excursions yearly to expose students to new experiences and provide opportunities for hands-on learning.
On February 12, 2025, a contingent of students and educators from Adue International Schools embarked on an enlightening educational visit to the Nigerian Army Resource Centre (NARC), Abuja.
The students were warmly received by the Director General, Maj. Gen. Garba Ayodeji Wahab (Rtd.), who facilitated an engaging tour of the Nigerian Army Museum. The visit was meticulously planned to foster a deeper understanding of leadership principles and their practical applications.
Through interactive sessions, students gained valuable insights into strategic planning, decision-making, effective communication, discipline, loyalty, and selfless service — the very pillars of responsible leadership.
At the close of the visit, the Head Boy, Master Mark Chris, expressed the students' heartfelt gratitude to NARC. Also in attendance were the Executive Director Consult, Maj. Gen. S. Dahiru, and senior officers from the Centre.

As part of AIS's commitment to providing real-world learning experiences, students visited the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) headquarters in Abuja. This excursion gave students a rare and invaluable look into Nigeria's financial system, monetary policy, and national economic governance.
Students interacted with CBN officials and gained first-hand exposure to how Nigeria's central banking institution manages currency, inflation, and financial stability — crucial knowledge for any future global leader navigating an increasingly complex economic world.
The trip reinforced AIS's commitment to grooming confident and responsible global leaders who understand both local and international systems.
