This is an excerpt from another news,
''Managing Director, Promasidor Nigeria Limited --
makers of Cowbell Milk, Chief Keith Richards,
noted that the intensity, fortitude and integrity of
the competition had been sustained since it
started in 1998. He added that the competition
was free and open to all secondary school pupils
between ages 10 and 18.
Lamenting that education was declining in
Nigeria, especially in the North, due to terrorism,
he regretted that no pupil from the North-East
schools participated in the competition.
Richards said, "In the last couple of years, we have
struggled because of the activities of Boko Haram
and other criminal terrorist organisations that are
against education and by doing that, they are
threatening the hope and the future of Nigeria's
future generations and their children.
"Since the insurgency heightened, the level of
participation in the North has reduced
considerably. The results of this year's
competition further lend credence to the
downward trend of education advancement in
Nigeria"
