Delta Governor Rewards Spelling Bee World Champion Great Okediachi With ₦20M by nlfpmod(mod): 8:33pm On Jul 25

Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, on Friday rewarded Great Chinedu Okediachi with N20 million for winning the World Spelling Bee Championship in China, saying the feat underscores the impact of the state’s investment in education.

In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Festus Ahon made available to our correspondent, the governor announced the reward at the Government House in Asaba while receiving the championship trophy from the student alongside officials of the Ministry of Secondary Education.

He also pledged support for Madonna International School, where Okediashi is a student, in recognition of the institution’s contribution to the achievement.

Speaking at the event, Oborevwori said education remained the most valuable legacy parents and governments could give to children, noting that the state’s commitment to the sector was producing results beyond Nigeria’s borders.

"We don’t play with education in Delta State because it is the greatest legacy anyone can give to a child. Wealth can disappear, but education remains with you throughout your lifetime. That is why we continue to invest heavily in education,” he said.

The governor said the latest victory was another indication of Delta’s growing profile in international academic competitions, recalling that students from the state were part of Nigeria’s winning team at the World Schools Debate Championship in Doha, Qatar, last year.

“Last year, Nigeria, precisely Delta State, won the world debate championship in Doha, and today Master Great Chinedu Okediashi has brought the World Spelling Bee Cup from China to Delta State. It shows that our investment in education is working,” he said.

It's not too much. It's better than someone frolicking in a house for 90 days please. If rewarding a spelling champion seems excessive, perhaps we have simply become accustomed to overpaying for people whose greatest achievement is surviving a reality TV eviction.

Honestly why are some of you on this platform so full of negativity. If the governor had giving the winner let's say 500k or 1million, some of you will still criticise him for not doing enough and quickly compare the amount to that of the BBN star prize. Wetin una really want sef

Those same people you say are frolicking in a house for 90 days pull in an average of 12billion naira profit for the organizers out of which, they are given a paltry 100m or so…. So there is NO basis for analysis

Learn to evaluate your examples properly.

Spot on 👍 D bull has been a lover of entertainment so he prefers money to be spent on anything entertainment forgetting that only with quality education can we bring forth great minds that will give us quality contents to stream, I barely watch tiktok because majority of what I see in Nigeria tiktok is comedy

If winning gold for your country or school is generating nothing then my friend you know nothing. If I stay in Delta as a father and have the capital to train my children in this kind of this school that won the competition baba next term all my children will enroll I don't care about their old school
