SystemSpecs Group Announces 2024 Children’s Day Essay Competition

Nigerian students in primary and secondary schools have been invit­ed to enter the SystemSpecs Annual Children’s Day Essay Competition (CDEC), SystemSpecs Group has announced.

SystemSpecs in a statement, said with a vision to remaining a software institution of reference in Africa, the company is taking a proactive approach to inspire, equip, and develop young Nigerians with IT-based knowledge and resourc­es that will drive transformative change in Nigeria and help shape a sustainable world.

The essay will explore the stu­dents’ awareness of the vast op­portunities for value and wealth creation, while also discussing the challenges digitization can bring. Participating students will be chal­lenged to discuss ways to keep them­selves safe from digital threats.

As discussions about social media etiquette, privacy settings, and responsible online behaviour become increasingly important, according to Mr. ‘DeRemi Atanda, Managing Director, Remita Pay­ment Services Limited, children must be taught and given some room to learn and grow from their own choices.

“We understand now more than ever, the importance of empowering children to recognize threats and to address them with their parents and or guardians, while equipping them with the skills to protect them­selves” adds Mr. Atanda.

The contest, which will com­mence on February 20th, 2024, is an opportunity for students to artic­ulate their solutions for Nigeria’s evolving digital landscape.

The CDEC initiative stands as one of SystemSpecs Group’s Cor­porate Social Responsibility initia­tives to power an inclusive and sus­tainable future for the technology industry in Nigeria.

Mrs. Bukola Adeboye, Group Head, Corporate Services, System­Specs Holdings Limited said: “We believe we have a responsibility to give back to the communities in which we live and work as well as support and foster new learning experiences in education among Nigerian youth. The CDEC is just one example. I’m proud of the work we do at SystemSpecs as well as all the students who have authored several passionate essays in past CDEC editions, showcasing their understanding of innovative tech solutions and further deepening our CSR commitment”,

The first CDEC Essay Compe­tition was held in 2020. Since its in­augural year, there have been over 8,000 submissions from students, with participation growing to about 1,000 schools each year. This educa­tional initiative reflects the Group’s Corporate Social Responsibility commitment to facilitate capacity development for the ICT industry.

With a strong focus on securing the future of Nigeria, SystemSpecs believes implementing education­al ICT initiatives at school level can prepare the next generation of entrepreneurs, business leaders, nation builders and innovators, ensuring they are not left behind in the current wave of ICT for de­velopment.
