Benue State Qualifier 17/18 Season

The Benue State Qualifier was enough to I-N-V-I-G-O-R-A-T-E spellers to new energy on the 4th of November 2017.

Spellers across the state met to compete for a chance to be among the champions that will represent Benue State in the Nigeria Spelling Bee at the North Central regional level of the competition.

These spellers stand a chance to emerge National Champions in the National Finals of the Nigeria Spelling Bee and win up to One Million Naira scholarship; and to also represent Nigeria at the 2018 Edition of the of African Spelling Bee.

After 5 rounds of spelling, 5 spellers emerged to represent Benue State at the Regional Qualifier. These include:
