THE Nigerian Conservation Foundation (NCF) has announced to the schools and ministries of education across the nation, a call for intelligent and creative students to participate in the 15th edition of the NCF/Ambassador Aduke Alakija Memorial National Schools’ Art & Essay competition with the theme ‘Only One Earth’.
The entry was opened for submission till last weekend.
According to Head Communications, NCF, Oladapo Soneye, environmental education remained a key focus of the foundation in reaching the Nigerian students and youths across all levels of education, hence the establishment of the annual National Schools’ Art & Essay competition in honour of one of its founding members, late Ambassador Aduke Alakija.
The annual competition, he said, was first held in 1988 as part of NCF’s education and awareness programme in the formal school system.
