The Last edition was abridged because we just  revived it,  but this edition is scaling up to accommodate more schools for a longer duration."

While Commending Melon Production Ltd, the Director said: "This partnership is a very good opportunity for us to work together following their  success in handling the Maltina school games. We hope to achieve our goals in the forthcoming National Principal's Cup which we are hoping  to start by September."

We are confident by next year, alot of talents would have been discovered and this partnership would be seen as a blessing not only to the Ministry but to the Nation at large."

"We want to re-awaken sleeping, Young talents by catching them young because Nigeria has talents in abundance, but the problem has been discovering them ", Alabi concluded.
