The Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board, NCDMB, has announced the 10th edition of its Annual National Undergraduate Essay Competition, opening entries to Nigerian students eager to shape the country’s energy future.
Eyinimi Omorozi, Managing Director and Project Consultant said entries will open on August 15 for undergraduates in 100 and 200 levels across universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education in Nigeria.

The competition will culminate in an award ceremony scheduled for October 22 at the NCDMB headquarters in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, where outstanding participants will be recognised for their intellectual contributions.
