Chief executive officer of UBA Foundation Bola Atta, who spoke ahead of this year’s completion, noted that despite the current global economic challenges, the UBA Foundation remains steadfast in its commitment to educational excellence, significantly increasing the grant prizes this year.

“We are aware of what families and parents are going through, especially in the face of the current economic climate in Nigeria, and by raising the first-place prize to N7.5 million, with N5 million and N3.5 million for second and third places, respectively, we are making a bold statement about our dedication to African education. The increase in grant prizes reflects our understanding of the rising costs of quality education and our determination to ensure that exceptional students can pursue their academic dreams without financial constraints.”, Atta said.
