The competition covered seven local government areas, extending beyond the three Warri local governments. The grand prize winner will receive ₦10 million, with other contestants also receiving significant financial rewards.

WAEC Examination Sponsorship: Over 130 students from Warri and neighboring communities have had their West African Examination Council (WAEC) fees fully covered, ensuring they have access to quality education.

Bursary Program for Itsekiri Students: More than 1,500 Itsekiri students in higher institutions across Nigeria have benefited from bursary payments, easing their financial burdens and promoting academic success.

Orphanage Feeding Program: A dedicated initiative is currently providing food and essential support to orphans, ensuring their well-being.


A Royal Leader Recognized by the Nation

The IYGG also extended their appreciation to Prince Collins Oritsetimeyin Edema, the handler of the Itsekiri Empowerment Initiative and Quiz Competition, for his dedication to executing these impactful programs.
