Elated Chidi said “I feel ecstatic, actually. I wasn’t expecting this. I was actually expecting to just, you know, get one of the positions at least, because that would be a fulfilling thing. I was just after the prizes, but being here, standing as a winner, knowing that I made my school proud, makes me really happy.” The 13 years old winner said the award has inspired her to do better in her educational pursuit.

The 2024 competition attracted nearly 5,000 participants from Junior Secondary Schools across Nigeria, showcasing creative and innovative ideas. The event underscores Heirs Insurance Group’s commitment to supporting education and advancing financial literacy.

Speaking at the ceremony, Onifade emphasised the group’s dedication to education and financial empowerment. “At Heirs Insurance Group, we understand that education is a pathway to a better future and a catalyst for financial empowerment. Through this Championship, we are nurturing young talent and bridging the financial literacy gap, fulfilling our purpose of improving lives and transforming Nigeria.”

Onifade also commended all participants, noting, “I am proud of the creativity and critical thinking displayed by our finalists and every student who submitted an essay. These young minds are shaping the future of our country, and we are proud to support them.”

The essays were evaluated by a distinguished panel of academic professionals, led by a Professor of English. After rigorous evaluation, the top 15 essays advanced to further rounds, culminating in the selection of the top three finalists. Deloitte & Touche was engaged as an independent quality assurer to ensure a transparent and fair grading process.

The Heirs Insurance Essay Championship is a major component of the group’s corporate social responsibility initiative, aimed at improving the quality of education and promoting financial literacy. The championship also helps to identify emerging talent and foster a closer relationship between parents, children, and the insurance industry through extended financial literacy workshops.
