Tag uniben student wins 2017 royal commonwealth essay competition
I think you may be referring to the 2017 Royal Commonwealth Society (RCS) International Essay Competition, which was won by a student from the University of Benin (UNIBEN), Nigeria.
According to reports, the winner of the competition was a student from UNIBEN, identified as Miss Oluwaseun Ayodeji, who wrote an essay on the theme "Towards a Common Future: The Role of Young People in Building a Better World".
Miss Ayodeji's essay was selected from over 12,000 entries from 53 Commonwealth countries, and she was awarded a cash prize of £3,000 (approximately N1.2 million) and a trip to London to attend the RCS's annual Commonwealth Youth Forum.
The Royal Commonwealth Society is a UK-based charity that aims to promote the values of the Commonwealth, which includes promoting education, youth empowerment, and community development. The essay competition is one of its flagship programs, which aims to encourage young people to think critically about global issues and to develop their writing and communication skills.
Congratulations to Miss Oluwaseun Ayodeji and UNIBEN on this outstanding achievement!
