A 400 Level student of History and International Studies, Ambrose Alli University (AAU), Ekpoma, Joy Oboh and Ezekiel Efeobhokhan, a 500 level Pharmacy student of University of Benin, Edo State, have emerged winners of the maiden Ibhawoh Foundation essay competition, titled; “Strategies for addressing the challenges of funding higher education in Nigeria.”

Announcing the winners, at the Luncheon held at the Protea hotel, Benin, Gerald Ibhawoh said the initiative was borne out of the need to give back to the society.

“We all know the stress involved in passing through any higher institution in Nigeria, hence the Foundation deemed it fit to encourage those who could differentiate themselves from the mass.”

Commenting on the award, the winner from AAU, Joy expressed her delight, describing the award as a landmark. She added that it was an encouragement to participate in such a productive competition. “I really appreciate this opportunity given to me by the Foundation. My horizon has been broadened by extensive research carried out in the course of the competition; I encourage other students to fully participate in subsequent competitions.”

Addressing the recipients, Bonny Ibhawoh encouraged them to keep up the good work and face their studies, as it is the only criteria to sustain the level of excellence they just achieved.

In addition, Gerald, who congratulated the winners, emphasised that they are now ambassadors of the Foundation. He advised them on the need to be known for good conduct so that the Foundation could be seen in good light.
