Announcing the commencement of the second edition of the competition in a statement made available to the media in Warri yesterday, Mrs. Judith Diden said all public secondary schools in Ethiope-West, Okpe, Sapele, Uvwie and Warri North  council areas would be participating.

Continuing, the statement disclosed that the best three students from each of the five participating council areas would contest in the final round, which would take place on June 20, 2015 at a location that would be disclosed later.

It further added that the final stage would also include the answering of oral questions before an audience in order to select the overall best contestants.

The competition would award laptops, books and cash prizes to the best contestants, while participation certificates and other prizes would be awarded to some participants and teachers respectively.

It however pointed out that the academic contest, which is meant for only Senior Secondary Class 2 students in the selected areas, was meant to, among other things, popularize Mathematics among students, raise the awareness of young learners on the relevance of the subject, identify promising students as well as promote hard work among them.
