 A new car and 650,000 narrow have been presented to a 400 level medical student from Oshun State, Victor Adeyamo, who emerged grand winner of the second edition of Oshun Independence Day essay competition and prize presentation. 50 participants took part in the competition, with 25 from various secondary schools in the state, and 25 Oshun indices from different tertiary institutions across the country. The competition was held in the Shugbo or the instance of the state ministry of original integration and special duties as part of activities to mark Niger's independence day. The grand winner of the tertiary institution's category, Victor Adeyamo, got a car and 650,000 narrow, while the first runner-up got 300,000 narrow, a laptop and a printer. This competition is fair and I like that the judge and the assessment was done right. So I'd like to say to everyone out there that keep pushing, I have participated in a lot of competition, I have lost many, but then to God's glory, I want to do this, so try, don't stop trying, it can be an opportunity. And I'm so delighted and the message I'm passing across even to students like me is that hard working actually pays, it's really pays, it's good to be hard working and not even working hard alone, working effectively, because you can be working hard and at the end you won't get any tangible results, it's good to be hard, to be working, to work effectively, not just to be hard working, working effectively and working smart and also putting one's trust in God, it's really pays. Similarly, the grand winner of the Second Disco's category got about 400,000 narrow and a laptop, including all the gifts, while all the finalists got 10,000 narrow from the state government and all the stakeholders. Commissioner for original integration and special duties, Lekholm Badmors, said the competition is to encourage and promote the culture of education, particularly written, writing in public speaking as well as to spark healthy rivalry in education pursuits among the youths. Education is not only learning of facts, but training of mind to think. Today, our guest states have assembled a scientific population of youths to think and suggest probable solutions to the challenges facing our contribution. To some people, this might not sound interesting, as a shooting government has thrown out of force and moved away from the conventional mind-past to this assemblage. The Second Disco students discussed the ocean state-thacted anniversary and the future ahead, my perspective. While the tertiary students discussed security, architecture, challenges and solutions in all the geographical zones of Nigeria. Chairman of the occasion, retired lieutenant-general Lamy D. Adilshun, voted government and other stakeholders for supporting academic careers towards positive engagement, stressing that Nigerians should issue placing all blames on government. Security in our state, in our homes, in our democracies today, is not solely the responsibility or responsibility of the government. No, it is a productive responsibility. And as of today, many of our problems stem from us. The maiden edition of the competition was held last year on October the 4th.
