An appeal have been made to corporate concerns, stakeholders, educationists, community leaders, and the general public  to support  the Ikwuano Inter-Secondary Schools Quiz Competition, scheduled for May 29, 2026, at Isiala, headquarters of Ikwuano LGA of Abia State. 

 "Academic competitions such as this may appear modest on the surface, but their long-term impact on young minds can be profound. They encourage students to read widely, sharpen their reasoning abilities, and develop confidence in their intellectual capacity", states administrators of the social media platform - Ikwuano Elites Forum, IEF and organiser of  the competition, in a statement soliciting financial and moral support for the second edition of the programme 

The administrators of Ikwuano Elites Forum explained  that the second edition of the Quiz Competition was conceptualised following the huge success of the first edition and demand by students and schools for repeat performance 

It further added: "More importantly, initiatives like this help restore the culture of scholarship and intellectual pride that once defined many Nigerian schools.

"Beyond the prizes and recognition that will accompany the competition, the real victory will be seen in the enthusiasm it generates among students and the renewed attention it draws to learning.

"If properly supported by individuals, corporate bodies, and community leaders, the Quiz Competition could become a flagship annual event that places Ikwuano LG firmly on the map of academic excellence in Abia State.

"Indeed, the theme behind the initiative “Bringing out the best in our students” — is not merely a slogan. It is a call to action for everyone who believes that the future of the community lies in the minds we nurture today. "This competition is part of our broader effort to bring out the best in our students and to promote academic excellence within Ikwuano,” the forum maintained

They further stressed that the involvement of community-based organisations such as the Ikwuano Elites Forum also demonstrates a growing recognition that education cannot be left to government alone. "Communities must actively participate in shaping the academic future of their young people. In Nigeria today, conversations about youth development often revolve around infrastructure, employment, and technology. While these are important, the foundation of any sustainable development remains education

"By covering subjects such as English Language, Mathematics, Current Affairs, Science, and Arts, the competition aims to expose students to a broad spectrum of knowledge while stimulating healthy academic rivalry among participating schools", it affirmed
