A total of 108 secondary school students from across the country who scaled through the first round from a total of 41,735 students in this year’s edition of Cowbellpedia Mathematics TV Quiz Show are set for the second stage of the competition.

The competition, organised and sponsored by Cowbell, the flagship brand from the stable of Promasidor Nigeria Limited, will take participants at both the junior and senior categories through the preliminary, semi-final and final rounds where the best  three will emerge in each category.

This will last for 13 weeks.

The managing director of Promasidor Nigeria, Mr. Anders Einarsson, who made the disclosure in a press release in Lagos, said three perfect scores were recorded in the qualifying examinations from two schools in the junior category.
