The Nigeria Spelling Bee Competition has announced the commencement of Registration for all Primary and Secondary Schools for the 2018/2019 academic session.

The Nigeria Spelling Bee is a product of Bee Spelling Competition Initiative, a registered Non-Governmental Organization with the Nigerian Corporate Affairs Commission.
