Today, we concluded another partnership with Sterling Bank to launch the Sterling Bank National Mathematics Quiz. A nationwide competition designed to discover, reward, and celebrate Nigeria’s brightest young minds.
Starting Saturday, June 20, 2026, students from Primary 1 to SS3 across Nigeria will compete online every two weeks for the prizes.
1st Prize – ₦500,000
2nd Prize – ₦300,000
3rd Prize – ₦200,000
That’s ₦1,000,000 every two weeks and ₦24,000,000 every year dedicated solely to rewarding academic excellence among Nigerian children.
But this is not just about winning money.
It is about building a culture where intelligence is celebrated.
It is about giving every child, whether in Lagos, Enugu, Kano, Bayelsa, Maiduguri, Aba, or a remote village, an opportunity to compete on a national stage.
Competition Schedule
• Every two weeks
• Saturdays
• 6:00 PM – 6:20 PM
• Online nationwide
The top performers will then advance to a live championship session streamed online next day same time, where Nigerians can watch some of the country’s brightest students solve challenging mathematical problems in real time.
To ensure fairness and give more students the opportunity to benefit, every student can only win once.
And here’s what makes it even better:
Every participant will be able to review their questions after the competition, identify their weaknesses, learn from their mistakes, and prepare for the next challenge.
This means that even students who don’t win become better mathematicians.
Parents, teachers, school owners, and students should begin preparing immediately.
The questions will be tough and the competition will be fierce.
Registration is now open:

Please share this with every child, parent, teacher, school owner, principal, and education stakeholder you know.
Let’s make academic excellence prestigious again.
@instablog9ja Please collect the money and put back where she took it from! She has no right to withdraw more without asking you... Abuse of friendship and trust
@winexviv@Nwauka Waoooo!! This is good to know! Weldone Okemdinachi learnt that a student of The Lagoon Secondary School, Lekki scored 357 in her JAMB as well.
Our current education system is not designed for global competitiveness, rather for exams.
From primary school to university, Nigerian students spend years mastering how to pass Common entrance, BECE, WAEC, JAMB, Post-UTME, Semester exams etc.
But the world outside Nigeria is not asking:
“Can you pass an exam?”
The world is asking:
• Can you build things?
• Can you solve complex problems?
• Can you innovate?
• Can you compete globally?
Look at the countries dominating the modern economy:
Germany – engineering and manufacturing
South Korea – electronics and industrial technology
China – global manufacturing powerhouse
United States – innovation and research
Their education systems are deeply connected to industry, skills, and innovation.
Nigeria’s system is connected to syllabus completion and exam performance.
That’s why we produce millions of graduates every year that struggle to find a job.
Why are we educating young Nigerians for the world that actually does not exist?
Until we redesign our education system around problem-solving, technical mastery, and industry relevance, we will keep producing certificates instead of competitiveness.
