The Proprietor/President of Cradle 2 Harvard International School, Abuja, Phrank Shaibu, at the weekend, stated that the 2022 Queen Commonwealth Essay competition will enhance the literary skills of Nigerian students and bring out the best in them.
Shaibu said this at the official launch and public presentation of the essay competition, which was hosted by Cradle 2 Harvard International School, on Friday in Abuja.
The Queen’s Commonwealth Essay Competition is an annual event hosted across the 54 Commonwealth countries.
This year’s edition had “Our Commonwealth” as its theme.
Shaibu said: “We are excited to be here, we are excited to host this event that is the flag off and official launch of the 2022 Commonwealth Essay competition organised by the Queen of England. It is an interesting one because I am a linguistic activist who turned into a school proprietor or school president as my kids fondly called me.
“We elected to host this event because of my love for writing, my love for education and I believe we should be at the forefront in salvaging our educational system.
“It is an annual event across the 54 commonwealth countries in the world, and this particular edition’s topic is “Our Commonwealth,” and it is meant to bring out the best in the literary skills and abilities of children across the Commonwealth countries. So, what it does is that it encourages them, it fosters bonding, it encourages writing skills and improvement in literary writing.”
