The Chairman, Chevron Nigeria, Mr Jeff Ewing, has said that only an enduring investment in education that enables pupils to think outside the box, move beyond boundaries and seek different ways to proffer solutions, will equip them for the future. He said this during the grand finale of the 13th NNPC and Chevron National Art Competition For Secondary Schools held on Thursday at the MUSON Centre, Onikan, Lagos.

Speaking through the General Manager, Policy, Government and Public Affairs, of Chevron, Mr Esimaje Brikinn, Ewing noted that the creative arts promote creativity in children and would equip them in becoming problem solvers.

He said, “The competition is aimed at promoting creativity in Nigerian children by spurring their interests in the creative arts, as well as equipping them for the workplace and the future. For us, an enduring investment in education enables pupils to think outside the box, move beyond boundaries and seek different ways to proffer solutions. As such, the competition is aimed at improving the lives of our young stars. That is why we reward our champions with a full scholarship package to encourage them to keep excelling in their chosen academic fields. We believe this is one way to ensure a better society.
