โ€œThis competition is coming back after eight years of its stoppage and it is meant to fish put talents from the grassroots in our public and private secondary schools, it is the wish of the government that this time around, provisions will be made to ensure the competition is made enduring and will not stop again.

โ€œAs much as the State government wants to build talents, we have the mandate to instill discipline, we expect them to conform with the rules and regulations guiding the competition, no use of mercenaries and violation of the rules, any school found guilty of these irregularities will be banished from the competition for two years.
