Ekiti State Qualifiers – 2021 Season

It was a display of spelling prowess as spellers across the “The Fountain of Knowledge” converged at Ado Ekiti for the Ekiti State Qualifiers of the Nigeria Spelling Bee.

National Champions stand to win a One Million Naira or Five Hundred Thousand Naira Scholarship for the Senior and Junior categories respectively among other prizes.

The best National Finals spellers also get to represent Nigeria at the African Spelling Bee championship.

The competition consisted of the written test and oral rounds.
