The National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies NILDS says its Annual Quiz Competition was introduced to stimulate the interest of young students in politics and make them more proactive in matters relating to the legislature and democracy.
The Director General of the Institute Professor Abubakar Sulaiman stated this at the opening of the 2023 National Quiz Competition on Legislature and Democracy held in Bauchi.
Professor Abubakar Sulaiman represented by the State Coordinator Engineer Simon Wakawa said the competition which is an avenue for continued education on the legislature, is aimed at broadening the knowledge of students and youths on the history, practice and procedure of the legislature and also encourage deeper understanding of civic and democratic governance.
He urged all competing students and their teachers to abide by the rules of the game in the true spirit of sportsmanship to achieve the desired objectives.
Declaring the Competition open, the State Commissioner of Education Dr Jamila Dahiru represented by the Director School Services Shehu Abdulsalam said learning goes beyond the walls of the classroom, noting that extracurricular activities such as debates, quiz, sports, spelling bee among others would encourage children to widen their scope of learning.
