The Foundation said in a statement, “The essay topic for the call for entries is “Discuss the Impact of Carbon Emission on Climate in Nigeria: Challenges and Solutions. “Students are expected to properly research, write, scan, and upload their handwritten essays to the digital portal on or before November 8, 2024.

“The essays will be graded by renowned English professors who will select the best 75 entries, rewarded with N75,000 cash.

A second competition will be held across four regions in Nigeria – Abuja, Enugu, Lagos and Port Harcourt where 75 candidates will compete to be one of the 20 finalists. These 20 finalists will write a third essay where the top three will be selected.”

“We are aware of what families and parents are going through, especially in the face of the current economic climate in Nigeria, and by raising the first-place prize to N7.5 million, with N5 million and N3.5 million for second and third places, respectively, we are making a bold statement about our dedication to African education. The increase in grant prizes reflects our understanding of the rising costs of quality education and our determination to ensure that exceptional students can pursue their academic dreams without financial constraints.”, Atta said.
