It is anticipated that 1,500 pupils from 150 schools in three locations, Owerri, Maiduguri, and Abeokuta will participate in the four-day event in January 2024.
The ministry announced the call for applications from prospective teachers on Thursday via X.

Candidates that meet the requirements may apply on the program’s website.
