On behalf of the State Government ,the Edo State Commissioner for Education, Dr. Paddy Iyamu, has congratulated the winners of the Edo State chapter of the Mathematical Association of Nigeria competition.
The winners, Alika Osezele, Isaac Karen and Henry Johnson Onyekachujwu received cash gifts of ₦100,000, ₦150,000, and ₦200,000, respectively.
Dr. Iyamu emphasized that Governor Monday Okpebholo’s administration is committed to building schools and employing teachers, and therefore, the students have a responsibility to study & excel academically.
While encouraging parents to continually support their children to excel in order not to temper their peace in old age, the Commissioner urged the students to continue striving for excellence, noting that the Governor will always reward excellence just as the case of the 2 new buses gift and other incentives for good performance.
He lauded their performance as a testament of hardwork and dedication, stating that the future belongs to those who dream and work hard and not those who engage in cult related activities who eventually get cut off in their prime.
