She added that the successful students would also receive cash and a scholarship award to further their studies in any Nigerian university of their choice, enabling them to contribute to the growth and development of the nation.

In his remarks earlier, the Director of, the Science and Technology Promotion Department (STP), Mr. Ronald Ukpong, noted that the Ministry created the programme to encourage Nigerian youths to be interested and fashion their study careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education, adding that the good gesture covers the 774 Local Government Areas of the Federation where students compete in Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics.

According to him, Nigeria can only attain true greatness when it applies Innovation, Science, and Technology. He tasked the youths with studying hard in their chosen careers and ensuring that Nigeria is recognized by the international community in the science sector.

The Chief Examiner of the Programme, Professor Uno-Uno, lauded the students for their exceptional performance in this year’s exercise compared to the previous year’s. He also urged the teachers to deploy new teaching techniques that will enable the students to understand the subjects better and more easily.
