Another Harmless gist 😅
Recall that, Alex Onyia, an education facilitator recently sponsored kids from his Olympiad contest to the global STEM Olympiad competition.
This rare feat garnered attention across the country and people started questioning the capacity of the education minister if a private citizen can easily pull this off.
In a reactive move, today, the ministry of education has asked the National Mathematical Centre to submit all national Olympiad competitions it organizes.
The ministry of education now wants to start sponsoring them to international finals by themselves. Something they abandoned since 2019.
However, there is fear that entire process might be politicised and nepotism may be used in choosing winners.
In light of this, Alex Onyia is already being advised to rename or rebrand his own Olympiad.
