According to Odunaike, the Olympiad involves getting to know the theoretical and practical knowledge of the students in solving everyday problems.

Likewise, the secretary, Executive Committee on Innovation and Strategy, Chemical Society of Nigeria, Okeh Ochulo,  explained that as nations are built by science, Nigeria should focus more on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).

Moreover, Ochulo notes that education and the application of technology empower every student to use their creativity. Seeing as it helps to develop their problem-solving skills, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) should be encouraged in schools.

In the same vein, a staff in the Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) School, Lagos, Oluwafemi Adenuga, explained that 26 Schools registered for the National Tournament from Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Ondo, Abia, Osun, Anambra, Kaduna and Zamfara states but others, especially those from northern part of the country due to insecurity along their routes could not join in the competition.

Adenuga appealed to parents to encourage more young people to embrace STEM because it’s a major determinant of national prosperity and will fortify the capability of the nation’s workforce, and help towards achieving the economic objective of the SDG goals.
