The Youth Leader of the society, Mr Danagogo Amachree told newsmen during the competition that imparting knowledge of the Bible among pupils has become necessary to prepare them for future challenges.

Meanwhile, Barrister Dawari George has called for synergy between the church, the society and the government to properly groom children in the way they should behave.
Speaking on the topic: “Education Is The Key”, at the competition, he said that the civil society must play a key role in the educational development of the society.

Also speaking, Dr Essien Eka Essien, the Sunday School Superintendent of Christ Church, Port Harcourt, said that knowledge of the Bible is needed to check cultism and restiveness in the society.
