Government Comprehensive Secondary School in Borikiri has won the 2026 NLNG Science Contest, claiming top honours in the Rivers State edition of the annual competition.
The victory marks a significant achievement for the school, which beat other secondary institutions across the state to clinch the prize. The contest, organised by the Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas company, aims to spark interest in science subjects and encourage students to pursue careers in science and technology.
The school's win demonstrates the quality of science education being delivered in Rivers State and the calibre of students engaging with scientific concepts at the secondary school level. Government Comprehensive Secondary School has now positioned itself as a leader in science education within the state.
The NLNG Science Contest forms part of broader efforts by the company to invest in human capital development and nurture the next generation of scientists, engineers, and technologists in Nigeria. By sponsoring such competitions, NLNG creates platforms where young minds can test their knowledge, showcase their abilities, and gain recognition for academic excellence in science disciplines.
Government Comprehensive Secondary School will represent Rivers State in subsequent rounds of the national competition, carrying forward the state's bid for the overall national prize. The school's management and students are expected to continue building on this momentum as they prepare for the next phase of the contest.
