The Governor-elect of Niger State, Mr Mohammed Bago, has announced an essay competition initiative for all Secondary school students in the state.
The competition encourages participants to think critically about the state’s most pressing issues and write a 1,000-word essay on the topic ‘The Niger State I Want.’
This essay competition is the first of its kind, where a Governor-elect is organising a competition to promote education, creativity, and welcome suggestions from teenagers on their dreams for their state.
The Governor-elect said; “We want to hear from our young people about what their dreams are. We want to encourage them to showcase their writing skills as a way of developing them.”
