13-year-old Wins Nigerian Mathematics Queen Competition A teenager, Tochukwu Ndukwe, 13, from Federal Government Girls College (FGGC) Leeja, Nsukka, Enugu State on Wednesday emerged the overall winner of the Nigerian Mathematics Queen Competition for 2018. Saibu Medina from FESTAC College, Lagos, took second position while Olayiwola Adedagun, FGGC, Ketu, Osun came third at the competition. 115 female students of Junior Secondary School across the country participated in the Girls’ Mathematics Olympiad Competition, organised by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). At the ceremony, Prof. Stephen Onah, the director NMC said that the competition was aimed at encouraging and addressing the gap between males and females in the learning and teaching of Mathematics in the country. Onah said the maiden edition with the slogan ‘Leaving No One Behind’ of SDGs Mathematics Competition and Award ceremony for the crowning of Nigeria Mathematics Queen was geared towards achieving SDGs 4. ‘‘The Nigerian Girl Student has been placed in a disadvantaged position especially in the area of education which has relegated her in the general scheme of things. ‘‘Being a victim of discrimination and male chauvinism, the girl-child hardly could compete educationally with her male counterpart. ‘‘This attitude has badly affected the girl child’s education in the area of enrolment in school, performance in class and her quest to progress educationally. ‘‘The girl child’s low interest in Mathematics is a serious concern to NMC and it is on this note that we encourage and boost the interest of the girl-student in Mathematics,’’ he said. He added that one of the objectives of the competition was to stimulate enthusiasm in the learning of Mathematical Sciences among young Nigerian girls. On her part, the Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to the President on SDGs, Princess Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire, called on teachers and parents to work harder towards improving the learning of Mathematics sciences. Orelope-Adefulire, who was represented by Dr Ify Nnamchi, called on relevant organisations to adequately fund the girl-child education to reduce street hawking among young girls in the country. https://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2019/04/11/13-year-old-wins-nigerian-mathematics-queen-competition/ ***** ***** ***** Congrats to the winners. Nice spread....from the east, west and north!

Anambralstson:Nice one! The finishing of this building looks top-notch, though i hope they have plans to plant trees and lawns where space permits! There seems to be a general improvement in landscaping and cleanliness in the city as a whole, but as always, you can never have too many trees! |
The one that got me green with envy was the report last week that said Ghana is poised to be THE FASTEST GROWING ECONOMY IN THE WORLD IN 2019! I was furious! ![]() I said it didn't i? I warned a few years back that we will be busy bragging that we're the giant of Africa; have the biggest population in Africa; have the largest GDP in Africa....we'd be wallowing in this false sense of security and superiority, and wouldn't know when little Ghana overtakes us! Nigeria is a basket case! This is what you get when a people who are ill-equipped to govern not only insist on governing, but also insist on filling all sensitive positions with their people! |
OMANBALA1:I think it lowers the tone of the neighbourhood! I prefer tiles, but i guess it’s a case of better soup, na money kill am! ![]() |
Anambralstson:Is this the part-finished hotel in Onitsha started by Peter Obi that was to be sold...the one close to the mall? |
jomonic:Hehehehe ![]() |
Officialgarri:Care to show me links to prove that Ndigbo voted in a plebiscite for Nzeogwu and his gang to go and murder anyone? Classic case of giving a dog a bad name in order to hang it! |
I’v often wondered why Atlanta airport is the busiest in the world! What is in Atlanta that makes its airport busier than the ones in New York, Florida, Beijing, Heathrow, etc? |
Choi! See airport looking like paradise! ![]() |
Osagyefo98:You know what your problem is? You think everybody has emotional attachment to cleavages and distinctions based on states like you do! I’ll tell you one last time that so long as Rivers state (created by haters of Ndigbo to try and divide us and limit our territory) does not see itself as Igbo and still harbours anti-Igbo sentiments (that reached its crescendo during the abandoned property saga)....for so long this happens, my interest in the states affairs will be cursory at best! I am Igbo first before any stupid classification forced on me by some bigoted dickheads! |
mrhowoto:Don’t know why the Catholic Church couldn’t spend a bit more money to make Holy Trinity more grand and awesome....kinda like St Peters in the Vatican! The Anglicans got us beat on this one i have to admit! |
Ofuzo:Owerri airport can't have the kind of bustling activity you see abroad mainly because it doesn't have the economy to drive and sustain it. To start with, it would have to be an international airport, and Imo/Owerri state would have had to stand out for something INTERNATIONALLY....either tourism; industries; film/music; IT; conferences (for conferences, it would have to either be the capital of a country or be the 2nd major city besides the capital...kinda like you have with New York, Sydney or Durban). |
chiefobdk:I've been hearing of the NESTOIL one for some years now.....i think theirs is a gas-fired power plant. The main thing i want to see happen is supply of gas-fired power to industrial clusters in the five south-east states. Of course some cities like Aba already have their own dedicated power plant (GEOMETRIC), but i think its take-off being delayed by the dispute they have with Emeka Offors company. When Obiano started his first term, there was talk of a company (i think its name was Seven or something like that) supplying gas for domestic and industrial use in Anambra. That fizzled out and nobody talks about it anymore or cares to ask what happened. That's how we are....projects are either delayed or forgotten about after much fanfare, yet nobody asks any questions and the gov't can then get away with breaking promises they've made! We make governance too easy for them! |
This should be the biggest multi-million dollar project in the south-east since 1999 (If you can think of a bigger one, i’d like to know)...and it’s by a son-of-the-soil! Just goes to show how the S-E has been neglected for decades! I remember there was talk some years back of Shell planning to build an even bigger gas plant in the same LGA, but as with most plans for big ticket projects aimed at the S-E (that are not built by a Nwafor) it’s still on the drawing-board getting close to a decade now! Kudos to the urbane gentleman Dr A B C Orjiakor! |
Imo1stson:That fourth pic...where is that? |
nengibo:Probably some drunken sailor high on rum! ![]() |
The Oba looks a bit pissed-off! |
hisexcellency34:That would be poetic justice! ![]() |
gidgiddy:Both you and Mekus both make salient points! I for one am ready to give ‘one Nigeria’ the benefit of the doubt and have another throw of the dice (ie, going along with Mekus suggestions), but the pragmatist and realist in me suggests the core muslim north wouldn’t let this happen, and this is where i’m forced to buy into your own thesis! |
Shows how credible they are, that when they make a genuine mistake they’re willing to recant! |
Harbeeorlar:You forgot the Nwapas’ and Agoruas’! ![]() |
NORSYK:Hopefully! Not even 20% of Oguta Lakes potentials have been tapped! They need to build at least a four-star hotel by the lake and have direct rail links from there to an international airport! If i were the Governor of Imo State, i’d turn around its fortunes in 4 years! |
HomeOfMe:We still need our forests and game reserves! It's not because of some stinking marauders from futa djalon and the fact Buhari can't guarantee our security in Alaigbo that we should clear all our forests and leave the entire landscape devoid of vegetation! |
castrol180:Shut up you diseased bastard! She's soliciting for help from Nigerians because it's a so called 'fellow Nigerian....fellow compatriot' that did that to her! Had it been the culprits were her Igbo kinsfolk, then i'd say you have a point! You scum have sent down fulani soldiers to murder Igbo youth peacefully agitating for secession and cheered their actions, yet you have the temerity to ask that dumb question!? |
aremuforlife:Then don't go to America...simple! They'd even be happy sef! They're just warning their citizens that Nigeria is a gangsters paradise and any US citizen planning to visit should reconsider! |
MxreR:Some moro'ns will beg to disagree! They will reel out all sorts of phantom achievements and tell you Buhari is the best thing to ever happen to Nigeria! |
smatt1711:Dooooomed i tell ya! ![]() |
asuustrike1:You've not asked how the students gained admission into ABU to study the course in the first place! Could it be they were 'helpfully aided' to fill certain quotas and entitlements? |
Reference: |
Badonasty:After now some people will be feeling superior saying 'do you have a Dangote', even when it's clear to all that this man got to where he is today mainly because of the preferential he get's from the federal gov't! |
