In Crystal Classic Academy, there was a young boy named Nyimutaban.

He loved drawing, but his parents discouraged him.

1

He used all his notebooks for drawing.

His parents and teachers punished him.

But Nyimutaban did not stop drawing.

2

His parents got him a lesson teacher, Mr Ngavo.

He was a very kind man. He allowed Nyimutaban to draw after lessons.

3

Mr Ngavo got him drawing books, boards, and colourful paints.

Nyimutaban became an excellent artist. He also did well at his school subjects.

4

Every year, Nyimutaban received many prizes at the school's prize-giving day.

Other students admired him and wanted to be like him.

5

When he grew up, Nyimutaban was among the best artists in Nigeria!

He worked very hard and won many awards and contracts.

6

Nyimutaban thought to himself, "What can I do for other children who love art but are forced to study science subjects?"

7

He established the Nyimutaban Arts Centre! At the Centre, children can learn art after school and develop their talents.

Nyimutaban also organized art competitions to encourage artists.
