On Friday the 4th of December, 2015, PASS.NG, the leading e-testing platform for major exams in Nigeria will reward 10 Students who achieved academic excellence in the JAMB – conducted UTME exams of 2015.
The Pass Excellence Awards aims to celebrate exemplary students who have performed excellently across major examinations in the country.
This year, the company is focusing on rewarding students who performed well in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination with help from our platforms. It was chosen because this is a flagship exam and one of the major examinations required to pursue tertiary education.
This is the maiden edition of the awards and would take place at Sofitel hotel, The MoorHouse, Ikoyi Lagos State. Pass.ng is partnering with great brands that cut across different sectors to accomplish this cause such as Airtel Nigeria (Main Sponsors), Red Media Africa (Owners of Ynaija.com – an online news platform targeted to young Nigerians), WeChat Nigeria, UR4Africa, Lenovo and Intel to mention a few.
Yearly, awardees are Identified and rewarded based on how they have successfully excelled in their various pre-tertiary academic causes and we believe that this would encourage students to be committed towards hard work and diligence, especially in the pursuit of their careers.
Speaking on the awards, the Chief Executive Officer, Pass.ng, Mr. Samson Abioye said the aim of the award is to underscore the importance of excellence in education to national development.
