The Francis Ibhawoh Foundation is pleased to announce the launch of its annual essay competition, which aims to engage undergraduate students in meaningful, constructive discourse. This year, we’re addressing the critical issue of continuous strikes in Nigerian public tertiary institutions and brainstorming viable solutions.
The theme of the 2023 Essay Competition is “Incessant Strikes in Nigerian Public Tertiary Institutions and How to Address Them.” The widespread strikes in Nigerian public tertiary institutions considerably impair our nation’s youth’s academic progress, resulting in considerable setbacks in their overall development. It’s a problem that requires our attention, and we believe it’s critical to come up with creative solutions in order to provide a stable, favorable learning environment for our kids.
