She also emphasised that NAC is a medium for students to showcase their intelligence, creativity, innovativeness, teamwork, and communication skills.
In his speech, Prof. Ajiya added that the show will encourage a quality standard of education for Nigerian schools and students by promoting educational values in the minds of Nigerian youths as this will make the younger generation see the importance of obtaining good education and the benefits for their future.
Responding, Director, of the Federal Ministry of Education, Mr. Joseph Achede, said the project was welcomed development as the initiative was to celebrate excellence in education and ultimately improve the educational standards and systems in Nigeria.
