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.

In his address at the programme, the commissioner for Education and Human Capital Development, Engr. Musa Yeketi, who was represented at the programme by the Director of Schools in the ministry, Mrs. Titi Adeoti, thanked the KWRIS for introduction of the programme, pledging the ministry support for the initiative.
