Speaking to RemoTV toward the close of the event, the founder of the Friends of Ronzls Foundation, Chief (Mrs.) Ola Sulaimon, shared the inspiration behind the initiative.

She emphasized that the competition is strictly for public school pupils to ensure that public schools pupils are given equal opportunities and made to feel celebrated, recognized, and included in platforms that promote growth.
She revealed that the competition, which began with just ten schools, has now expanded to seventy across six zones in Remo. Over 210 students are participating in the 2025 edition, with two pupils being selected from each zone to proceed to the finals. According to her, the ultimate goal of the competition is not only to promote academic excellence but also to create beautiful memories for the children, help them realize their potential, and encourage them to aim higher in life.

The Friends of Ronzls Foundation continues to make a meaningful impact in the public education sector by nurturing talent, celebrating brilliance, and giving children the platform to dream bigger.
