He revealed that most of the members of the group are old students of the participating secondary schools. He tasked the state government and well meaning Deltans to invest in educational competitions among secondary schools.

“In the four years of our existence, we have been supporting one form of developmental program or the other in Warri. Warri used to be famed for churning out some of the brightest students in the state. Growing up, there were several education-based competitions that engaged students. That is what we hope to bring back with the Spelling Bee.”

“If government at all levels, politicians who are products of such competitions tow this part, then there will be less room for idleness.

“Idleness is one of the contributing factors to the prevalence of internet fraudsters in our society today. If winners of reality shows can go home with mouthwatering prizes, why can’t we make the prizes for academic excellence even more attractive?”
