FGC Kaduna Eyes Laurel At Artificial Intelligence Competition In USA

Students of Federal Government College, Kaduna, have assured that they will win the coveted prizes in the Robotic and Artificial Intelligence Clubs competition slated for the United States of America.

Buoyed by their performance at the National Robotic and Artificial Intelligence Competition in Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, early this year, the students were set to storm California, USA, for the international competition.

The team code-name Team Kaduna: KAD_CODERS emerged as 2nd runner-up at the recently concluded National Robotic and Artificial Intelligent.

This feat is unprecedented in the history of Federal Government College, Kaduna, which was founded in 1973. The feat earned the team many gifts, including a trip to California, USA, for the 2025 international competition.

The team’s ten members are Elizabeth Sinkalu Olayinka, Ibrahim Cajethan Ebuka, Abubakar Sadiq Mohammad, Obadafin Precious Ajibobola, Aisha Muhammad, Anita Michael Akoka, Abubakar Amina Hassan, Vangnum S. Ishaya, Hikmat Obadari, Jovial Banki, and Muhammad Magaji, their coach.

The school’s principal, Mr Adewale Adeyanju, was full of praise for the team. He said, “I was happy when I learnt of the result from the National Robotic and Artificial Intelligence Competition in Abuja. It was a commendable feat, and I told them that. However, I told the team I looked forward to the global competition in California, USA. It would be my greatest joy if they could fly the country flag and make Nigeria proud by coming first. They have the potential, and their Coach assured me that the team is in high spirits and preparation is also in top gear.

“I support technological competition, which is what robotic and artificial intelligence is all about. We deliberately focus on breeding the next generation of tech experts in Federal Government College, Kaduna, right from JSS. We are working on catching them young, making them focused and impactful in our society.
