Mountain Crest Secondary School earned N3 million for a school project, with its representatives receiving N75,000 each, and Nnuola International Secondary School received N1 million, with N50,000 for each representative.

Ibi-Ada Itotoi, Managing Director of Eastern Asset, Seplat Energy, represented by Emmanuel Otokhine, Base Manager, Eastern Asset, underscored Seplat Energy’s dedication to education.

“The PEARLs Quiz programme is more than a competition; it is a beacon of hope and opportunity. At Seplat Energy, we firmly believe that investing in education is investing in the future of our nation. We aim to nurture critical thinking and academic excellence among Nigeria’s youth through this initiative,” she said.

The grand finale attracted vital stakeholders, including secondary school students and their teachers, government officials, media representatives, and representatives from Seplat Energy, NNPC Upstream Investment Management Services (NUIMS), the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) and administrators from the Imo State Education Ministry.

Students expressed excitement and gratitude, with the champion, Ifeonu Adaugoh of Concorde Model Secondary School, stating, “We are overjoyed and grateful to Seplat for this life-changing opportunity. This has boosted my confidence and sharpened my academic skills.”

Mountain Crest Secondary School’s representative, Iwunze Elizabeth, shared her pride in their achievement: “We aimed for first place but are still proud of our efforts. Thank you, Seplat Energy and NNPC, for this incredible opportunity.” Prof. Johncliff Nwadike, Commissioner for Education, Imo State, represented by Chinyere Ibe Esq., Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, Imo State, expressed profound gratitude to Seplat Energy for their impactful initiative.

“Imo State is happy and appreciative of what you have done. This competition has brought an unprecedented opportunity for many students, particularly those from schools outside the municipality. We urge Seplat to continue this partnership because education is a universal right, and such initiatives make it accessible.

” Besides the quiz prizes, the competition celebrated outstanding science and art-based projects from participating schools, recognising innovation and creativity. These projects showcased the students’ ingenuity and commitment to addressing real-world challenges, earning them special commendations and prizes for further development.

Prince Dr Henry Okafor, Commissioner for Niger Delta Affairs & Intelligence, Imo State, commended the JV for its transformative corporate social responsibility efforts.

“Seplat has been exemplary, not only in the hydrocarbon sector but also in healthcare, education, and empowerment. Today’s event further solidifies their commitment to host communities in Imo State. We challenge other companies to emulate Seplat’s dedication to community development,” he remarked.

Barrister Emeka Mgbudem, Commissioner for Petroleum and Gas Development, Imo State, highlighted the broader significance of the quiz competition. “Quizzes are not just about knowledge; they foster growth, understanding, and healthy competition. It is heartwarming to see that eight out of the 12 finalists were girls. This is a testament to the state’s efforts to promote girl-child education. We thank Seplat Energy and NNPC for their partnership, which transcends economic benefits and enriches our communities,” he said.

The PEARLs Quiz competition is a flagship CSR initiative under Seplat Energy’s strategic agenda to foster academic excellence, youth empowerment, and sustainable development in its host communities. By combining education, innovation, and community engagement, Seplat continues to set the standard for impactful corporate citizenship in Nigeria.
