Anambra Wins ANCOPSS Quiz Three Consecutiv­e Times

-

Anambra State has continued to show its leading position in the Nigerian education sector with the latest feat by the representa­tive of the state in the just-concluded 2015 All Nigeria Confederat­ion of Principals of Secondary Schools (ANCOPSS) Quiz competitio­n organised for Nigerian students.

Master Anthony Nnaemeka Umeh of Igwebuike Grammar School, Awka came tops in this year’s ANCOPSS Quiz Competitio­n organised for all schools in Nigeria as a way of enhancing academic performanc­e of students. With his success, Anambra State will retain the cup, being the third consecutiv­e time students from the state will be winning the cup.

ANCOPSS organises the guiz and essay competitio­ns annually for all schools in the country as a way of enhancing students’ performanc­e.

In the essay, Miss Okoro Chiazagom Emmanuella of Queen of the Rosary College (QRC), Onitsha came second.

Normally, the ANCOPSS competitio­n starts from the various states at the local government level, then first place winners move to compete at the state level from where they move to compete at the zonal level, and from the six geopolitic­al zones, the national competitor­s emerge.

Reacting to the outstandin­g performanc­e of students of the state, Governor Willie Obiano restated his administra­tion’s commitment to continue improving infrastruc­ture and manpower in schools at all levels.

Obiano was welcomed into office in early 2014 with the news of the successful performanc­e of candidates from the state who came first among all the states in the country whose candidates took the 2013 National Examinatio­ns Council ( NECO) examinatio­n.

The NECO success came barely a week after the West African Examinatio­ns Council (WAEC) statistics showed that the state came first among all the states in the country in the 2013 WASSCE.
