Who We Are
The National Energy Quiz started in 2018 with 5 Senior High Schools in the Eastern Region. The Second time it was organized, it has an Institutional participation of 75 Senior High Schools and was won by Nkwantia Senior High School. The general idea of the quiz is to test Students who participate on topics related to petroleum, power, nuclear and community relations or culture. The essence of this program is;
- It will standardize energy education

NB: both energy course students and non-energy course student can take part in this quiz from the various schools. The Process is going to be divided into four sections; we shall provide the participants with the materials to learn for the quiz. The Energy Quiz will be coupled with other relevant related programs as follows; the innovation competition, the Vice Chancellors summit, and the Expo.
