No fewer than 24 mathematics enthusiasts in primary five, six and junior secondary schools across Nigeria would enjoy full secondary school scholarship education at any of the Nigerian Tulip International Colleges in the country.
The Managing Director of NTIC, Fevzullah Bilgin, stated this at the
19th edition of the Annual National Mathematics Competition, a yearly event organised in conjunction with the National Mathematics Centre with support from Access Bank PLC.
The first round took place on Saturday across the 36 states of Nigeria including Federal Capital Territory.
Bilgin explained that the ANMC aimed to give 24 exceptional pupils a 100 percent scholarship which covers their entire secondary school year at any NTIC school branch.
He said, “For 19 years, NTIC has been promoting effective teaching and learning of mathematics at the primary levels and developing greater capacity through its Annual National Maths Competition.
“Over the years, ANMC has only been for Primary 5 and 6 pupils going into JSS1, but this year’s edition is quite exceptional as it comes along with the maiden edition of JSS3 ANMC.
“This edition of ANMC has about 15,000 students as participants as we have decided to limit the number of participants due to Covid-19 protocol.”
