15 Years After, Cowbell Mathematics Competition Goes On Television by Nobody: 6:28am On Aug 10, 2015 |
FIFTEEN years after Promasidor
introduced Cowbell National
Secondary School Mathematics
Competition (NASSMAC) in Nigeria, it
has stepped its up game by having
the competition televised. So unlike
in the past, the second stage of the
competition will be on television for
13 weeks. And a total of 108 junior
and senior secondary school
students in Nigeria out of about
34,000 that sat for this year’s edition
of the mathematics competition
across the country have been
shortlisted for the second stage.
Head of Marketing, Promasidor
Nigeria Limited, makers of Cowbell
Milk and promoter of the competition,
Mr. Festus Tettey, disclosed last
week. He explained that 54 of the
students qualified from the JSS3
students that participated in the first
stage examination held earlier in the
year. Also, 54 students qualified from
the senior category.
On the modality used before arriving
at 54 successful students for each
category, Tettey said the top 20
students from around the country
were picked while the balance 34
were representatives from the states
of the federation and the Federal
Capital Territory.
Unlike before, Tettey said there was
improvement in the second stage of
the competition this year, as the 2015
edition marked the 15th year
sponsorship of NASSMAC by Cowbell.
To commemorate this feat, he stated,
the Second Stage has been changed
to an interactive Quiz Competition
known as Cowbellpedia, which is
endorsed by National Examinations
Council (NECO).
He disclosed that the quiz
competition, which will be aired on
13 television stations across the
country, would be on the topics
Number and Numeration, Algebra,
Geometry and Measuration, Statistics
and Probability, Trigonometry as well
as Introduction to Calculus.
He disclosed the television stations
to air Cowbellpedia to include AIT
Network, TVC Lagos, NTA Channel 10
Lagos, MITV, Ondo Television, NTA
Ibadan, NTA Port Harcourt, ABS
Onitsha, NTA Enugu, ITV Benin, NTA
Kaduna, STB Jos and Niger TV Minna.
Also, Tettey said that there was
significant increase in the prize
money for winners this year, as the
best students in both categories will
receive N750,000 each while the first
and second runners–up will smile
home with N500,000 and N250,000 in
that order.
While speaking earlier, Managing
Director of Promasidor Mr. Olivier
Thiry said, “Innovation is at the core
of what we do in Promasidor.
Innovation drives the way we think,
act and interact with our consumers. |
