The Nigerian Vice-President on Thursday received the victorious Nigerian girls who won the World Technovation Challenge in the Silicon Valley in San Francisco, United States, last month.

On their way to winning the competition, the Nigerian girls defeated representatives of other countries including the USA, Spain, Turkey, Uzbekistan and China to win the gold medal at the competition.

The girls received by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo included Promise Nnalue, Nwabuaku Ossai, Adaeze Onuigbo, Vivian Okoye, Jessica Osita and Miracle Igboke. They came to Aso Rock in company of the Deputy Governor of Anambra State, Nkem Okeke, Commissioner for Education, Prof. Kate Omenugha, and the Principal of the Regina Paces Secondary School, Onitsha.

The girls had won the competition with an FD-Detector Application, which they developed to curb fake drugs. It is not a secret that Nigeria is facing a serious challenge in the area of fake drugs proliferation across the country and so this application is viewed as a timely one for the country to put into production so as to combat the fake drugs menace once and for all.
