“Winning the Ibhawoh Foundation Award is one event that really gave me a new sense of direction. It stimulated my passion for writing, especially with regard to Nigeria. I have gone ahead to win or rank highly in quite a few national essay competitions either individually or as a co-writer.”

“I am graduate of Electrical/Electronic Engineering from the University of Benin…. Winning the Ibhawoh Foundation award brought me financial relief at a challenging time for me as an undergraduate student…. I bought my first suit with part of the prize money in preparation for my industrial training, for my undergraduate project defense and for subsequent official meetings… The prize money was also helpful to offset the cost of my final year project and for student contingencies such as feeding and textbook costs. I am grateful to the Ibhawoh foundation for the award."
