In a bid to promote learning among Nigerian students, an educational technology start-up, iQlearners, has been rewarding cash prizes to the top four highest scoring Nigerian students for excellent performance in the monthly scholarship examination on their website.

According to the founder and Chief Executive Officer of iQlearners, Okonma Victor, the initiative was borne out of the desire to see a positive change in the country’s educational sector.

“Over the years I have seen young people with great potentials who, due to the lack of finance, were unable to pursue their educational aspirations and I have always been moved by this and it has motivated me to create an ed-tech solution that not only offer scholarship to students but also, provide educational materials that are affordable and easily accessible”

“It puts a smile on my face knowing we are making a positive change, and over 15 students have already benefited from our scholarship program so far. We hope to increase the number of participants in the coming months as this will in turn increase the number of monthly winners”, he explained

In the past 4 months, iQlearners has conducted 3 scholarship examinations, a total of 63 people participated, in which the top 15 participants were financially rewarded in the monthly iQlearners examination. They also have a jamb section structured in a manner in which students can prepare for the UTME.

“Throughout my secondary school up to my University level I was on scholarship. I know what it feels like to get sponsors to sort out school bills especially when one is struggling financially”.

Befo also narrated that different students in Nigeria and Ghana who participated in the monthly exam, thereby commending the efforts of brilliant students in Nigeria. “Students are performing and doing better than what I expected of them.
