Speaking at the inauguration of the clubs at Queen Elizabeth Secondary School Hall Ilorin, the KWIRS chairman said the students were expected to prepare for essay, quiz and debate competitions under the tutelage of their coordinators while outstanding students and the schools would be awarded handsome prizes.
