“Sponsoring the quiz competition is our own way of supporting Anambra state government to achieve it’s set goals in education, and a way of encouraging students to develop interest in sciences.

“There is no doubt that Anambra needs more health professionals, who will service the population. There is also no doubt that the state needs more engineers that will take care of it’s infrastructure.
