The Kaduna State qualifier of Nigeria Spelling Bee competition was conducted today, the 15th of November. The competition which was previously scheduled for 3rd November was moved due to some security challenges in the metropolis.
It was a keenly contested event as students converged to clinch a slot to represent the state at the North-West regional competition.
After some rounds of the competition, these Junior Spellers emerged the top contestants:
In the senior category, these Spellers were exceptional:
Both junior and senior top Spellers will go on to represent the Kaduna State at the North-West regional qualifier, facing Spellers from 6 other states such as Kano, Sokoto, Kebbi, Zamfara, Jigawa and Katsina States.
At the national finals, these Spellers will have an opportunity to win a ₦1,000,000 scholarship (Snr) or a ₦100,000 cash prize (Jnr) among other exciting prizes.
The 6 national champions will also win an all-expenses-paid trip to represent Nigeria at the African Spelling Bee 2019.
Our sincere appreciation goes to The State Host, Panaf Schools, Barnawa Kaduna for providing a conducive hosting environment for the Kaduna State qualifier of the Nigeria Spelling Bee competition.
