The final stage of the competition is scheduled to take place on Saturday, 19th July 2025, at the Ebonyi State College of Education, Ikwo, starting at 10:00 AM. It is expected to be the highlight of the entire program, as the best minds from the zonal stages will come together to compete for top honors and recognition. Finalists will be evaluated on their depth of knowledge, originality, and ability to apply what they have learned in both academic and real-world contexts.
The general public is warmly invited to attend both the zonal and final stages of the competition. Community support plays a vital role in encouraging these young scholars to pursue their dreams and strive for greatness.
