Mathematics
education is the very foundation of society and the pillar of
science and technology without which a nation can never become prosperous and
economically independent.
This
was the submission of Managing Director of Promasidor Nigeria Limited, Mr.
Anders Einarsson while speaking last weekend in Lagos, at the finals of season
5 of the Cowbellpedia Secondary Schools Mathematics Television Quiz Show
sponsored by Cowbell Milk, the flagship brand of his company.
Einarsson
further explained in a chat with newsmen that the importance of Mathematics in the life of
individuals and nations cannot be over emphasised, adding that he
was
very impressed that the Cowbellpedia initiative has achieved its objective
going by the record number of 56,073 participants that took the qualifying
examination this year.
This
according to him, is a huge testament to the Cowbellpedia initiative and the
interest that Nigerians have in Mathematics. “I am convinced that with the
arrays of talents displayed by these young Nigerians here today, Nigeria can
rule the world. I advise the youth to continue to sustain their interest in
Mathematics because the future is theirs,” he said.
He
maintained that Promasidor has found a correlation between the development of
cognitive ability that Cowbell Our Milk, gives, and its passion for Nigeria.
Also
speaking at the event, Mr. Stephen Adebunmi, who represented the Acting
Registrar of the NECO, Mr Abubakar Gana, explained that since
Mathematics is very central to human and nation’s capacity, the subject
deserves all the support from public and private organisations.
The
NECO boss commended Promasidor for providing “an excellent platform” to
showcase these young Nigerian Mathematicians and future inventors.
