Executive Trustee of Ambassador Initiatives for Youth Development and Conflict Resolution, Ndidi Edeoghon remarked that this 2023 event had brought together students from different schools to discuss a united environment that will engender tolerance, conflict resolution and raise the standard for collaboration.

The competition featured participants from Oreyo Junior and Senior Secondary Schools, Ijaiye; United Junior and Senior Secondary Schools, Pinefield Schools, Lekki: Whitesand Schools, Lekki and Corona Schools, Agbara, among others.
