First Bank of Nigeria Limited has partnered with Junior Achievement Nigeria to implement the 22nd National Company of the Year (NCOY) competition which will be held on Thursday, October 13, 2022.
The annual flagship event which was last held physically in 2019 brought together 12 winning students from the Regional Company of the Year competition to compete for the National Company of the Year award sponsored by First Bank of Nigeria Limited.
The winner of the National Company of the Year competition will proceed further to represent Nigeria at the Junior Achievement Africa’s Company of the Year (ACOY) competition.
The goal of the Junior Achievement Company Program is to inspire senior secondary school students to start and run their own business(es), develop a product or service, and market their brand.
With the support of seasoned volunteers, students come together to form a company, choose a business name and elect company officers to oversee the operations of the company for the program duration.
These activities help them hone some in-demand skills like creativity, accountability, teamwork, leadership, problem-solving, critical thinking, and public speaking needed to succeed in this competition and thrive globally. In the end, the student companies present the results of their enterprise before a panel of judges.
