Francis Ibhawoh Foundation Essay Competition For Undergraduate Students 2023
The Francis Ibhawoh Foundation is delighted to announce the launch of its annual essay competition, designed to encourage undergraduate students to engage in meaningful and constructive discussions. This year, our focus is on addressing the pressing issue of continuous strikes in Nigerian public tertiary institutions and exploring viable solutions.
