The application form I downloaded from the website suggest s that one has to be a university graduate to apply. How true is this?

Nice

Science students e.g Gee boys, codeine boys and trams

Good !

Naija.

First, why restrict entries to one field ? Why not make all comers eligible and select the best entry ?

Second, I see the tradition of requesting X copies of documents has refused to die. Proposals and entries should be sent in as attachment to emails or links to an online repository. The recipient can make as many copies as he or she likes.
It's not rocket science.

That's a whooping sum. Unfortunately, aren't science inclined.

Lalasticlala and other mods, this topic made front page some 2 days ago..... I suggest you bring that one forward. See link here >>> https://www.nairaland.com/4433262/nlng-nigeria-prize-science-2018#4433262.23

I've already screamed Eureka till i discovered there are restrictions. I've been nursing a crazy power solution for Nigeria for the past 10years, unfortunately I'm not in that field. This is trash mehn!

I should check this out.

its's just not fair.They've been proferring solutions to the power problems of Nigeria since 1952 with nothing to show forth. There are more promising problems to deal with, so they could have made the competition theme more open.
