Christ Embassy's InnerCity Mission commissioned a free nursery and primary school in Ijala, Warri South, Delta State, on 29 September 2026. It has room for 500 pupils and opened with 350.

Christ Embassy's InnerCity Mission commissioned its InnerCity Mission Nursery and Primary School in Ijala, Warri South Local Government Area, Delta State, on Tuesday 29 September 2026. The Olu of Warri donated the land. Delta State's Commissioner for Higher Education formally commissioned the school, according to Vanguard.

The Christ Embassy Ministry Centre Warri director said the school can hold 500 pupils and would start with 350, drawn from at least five nearby communities. Pupils pay no fees. They receive uniforms, school bags, shoes, books and stationery, and at least one free meal every school day. Vanguard described the building as a smart school with ICT facilities and STEM learning equipment.

The figure of 350 is the opening intake announced at the commissioning. Later enrolment has not been reported. The church called this campus its 13th free school in Nigeria. That count is recorded in a separate entry, so this school should not be added to it a second time.
