Senate president Akpabio makes shocking revelation, says he has never smoked cigarettes or taken alcohol in his life

“This is a reflection of the commitment of the 10th National Assembly to prioritize education for all in line with the 8-Point Agenda of the President, the Legislative Agenda of both Houses of the National Assembly, as well as Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4

“In a time where youth participation in civic, political, and governance spaces is either low or challenged by a lack of access to opportunities, the NILDS Quiz competition serves as a vehicle for engagement and advocacy to close the youth exclusion gap and raise leaders that would champion democratic processes and serve as change agents.

“Over the last seven editions of this competition, we have observed that schools that participate in the quiz at the state level and at the final stage are amply represented by girls and boys.

“This is a further attestation to the fact that if the constraints on access to education at all levels are addressed, education for boys and girls would drive our national development.”

At the end of the keenly contested event, Saint Theresa’s College Nsukka, Enugu State won the competition.

Greater Tomorrow International School, Arigidi-Ikare Akoko, Ondo State came second while the School for the Gifted in Gwagwalada, came third.
