    Edo School Emerges Winner of NCDMB, NGOs STEM Programme On Robotics

    Sylvester Idowu in Warri 

    Ozolua Grammar School, Ologbo, Edo State, has emerged the winner of a 16-week STEM training programme on robotics, defeating eight other secondary schools at the grand finale held in Effurun, Delta State.

    The programme, themed ‘Robotics for a Sustainable and Inclusive Skilled Economy,’ was organised for selected schools across Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, and Rivers States.

    It was facilitated by Contego Servo, Odyssey Educational Foundation and Phoenix Girls Tech Foundation and sponsored by the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB).

    The Chief Executive Officer of Phoenix Girls and Tech Foundation, Dr Elizabeth Eterigho, emphasised that robotics is not just a learning tool but a gateway to innovation and critical thinking, essential for the 21st-century workforce.

    The training aimed to empower students with hands-on experience in robotics while encouraging creativity and technical problem-solving.

    “Over the past four months, we have embarked on an inspiring journey of discovery, innovation and empowerment.

    “Teachers and students from various secondary schools have come together not only to learn the fundamentals of robotics, programming and applied STEM, but to envision a future where knowledge translates into skills and skills translate into solutions.

    “The projects and prototypes they will showcase today are not just exercises in robotics; they are expressions of creativity, teamwork and determination that reflect the power of STEM education in shaping lives and societies,” she said.

    According to Eterigho, the programme had proved that when given the opportunity, “our young people can dream, design and deliver solutions that matter”.

    She commended the sole sponsor of the programme, NCDMB, saying that together, “we are laying the foundation for an economy that values skills, sustainability, and inclusiveness”.

    A representative of the NCDMB, Mr Weyinmi Ebiyon, said that the programme was designed to enhance the quality of education in the country.

    Ebiyon, on behalf of the board, commended the resource persons and trainers and urged the trainees to put into proper use the knowledge acquired from the training.

    Delta State Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, Mrs Rose Ezewu, commended the NCDMB and the facilitators for putting the training together.

    She assured them that the state government would key into the programme to elevate the knowledge of students in the state in areas of STEM robotic education.

    Iwere Secondary School, Koko in Warri North Local Government Area of Delta State came second, while Nana Model College, Warri in Warri South LGA emerged third.

    Other schools with representatives were: Community Secondary School, Kalio-Ama Okrika and Community Secondary School, Rumuoro Ogbakiri Emuoha, both in Rivers State.

    Ajoki Secondary School, Ajoki, in Edo State; Okotie Eboh Grammar School, Sapele in Delta State; CSS Okutukutu/Etegwe and Epie National High School Kpansia, Yenagoa, in Bayelsa State also took part in the training.

    A teacher from Ozolua Grammar School, Ologbo, Mr. Okoh Isaac, expressed gratitude to God for the victory.

    He commended the organisers and sponsor of the programme and urged government to invest more in technology.

    Group Seeks Probe of Threats to Ojulari, Applauds Ongoing Oil Reforms

    Group Seeks Probe of Threats to Ojulari, Applauds Ongoing Oil Reforms

    Emmanuel Addeh in Abuja

    The Itsekiri Progressive Youth Movement, (IPYM) has called on the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, and other relevant security agencies to investigate the alleged threats to life recently raised by the Group Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC), Bayo Ojulari.

    While playing host to a delegation from the Petroleum & Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) led by its President, Festus Osifo, the GCEO had alleged that certain forces were not comfortable with the reforms he has introduced to instill sanity in the oil sector.

    He maintained that the reforms have unsettled the forces who benefit tremendously from the current inefficiencies in the oil and gas sector, particularly the comatose shape of the nation’s four refineries.

    But the IPYM, in a statement issued at the weekend noted that an orchestrated protest staged in Abuja calling on President Bola Tinubu to sack Ojulari and his alarm of threats to life should not be treated with levity by security agencies.

    The statement signed by Jerry Atiene and Romeo Ogedegbe, National Chairman and General Secretary, respectively, declared that security agents must unmask individuals behind the threats to life of the NNPC boss.

    “We were deeply troubled when the NNPC boss, Bashir Bayo Ojulari, disclosed that his life and those of the company’s management staff were being threatened.

    “Patriotic Nigerians and critical stakeholders should be worried by Ojulari’s statement that his offence was introducing reforms in the oil and gas sector, in line with President Bola Tinubu’s determination to revive the moribund public refineries in Port Harcourt, Warri and Kaduna.

    “Security agencies should swing into action immediately, to unmask those behind the threats and blackmail..,” the statement added.

    While positing that the Ojulari-must-go protest in Abuja was a classical case of corruption fighting back, IPYM called on the GCEO not to be deterred in his resolve to make the NNPC profit-oriented and ensure the four public owned refineries across the country work optimally.

    The group further pleaded with Nigerians to give the Ojulari-led management of NNPC more time to turn around the fortunes of Nigeria’s public refineries toward a progressive trajectory and contribute more meaningfully to national development.
