Quality Sleep, Smarter Kids Contest, an inter-school essay
writing competition organised by Mouka and geared
towards engaging children as it relates to the importance of quality sleep, and
its impact on their academic performance is now in full swing.
The
contest which commenced late June 2019 gained momentum in July with the call
for entries. The competition would have contestants from various Primary and Secondary
Schools write essays on the topic “My dream, my sleep routine”.
This
year’s edition is focused on Lagos, while schools in other states would be
included in subsequent editions.
Speaking
on the essay contest, the Senior Brand and Innovation Manager for Mouka, Jide
Odelola said Quality Sleep, Smarter Kids
Contest is being organized by Mouka
to promote quality sleep culture in children, by encouraging them to create
healthy sleep routines so they wake up well rested and ready to learn the next
day.
According to
Odelola, in collaboration with top schools in the country, Mouka is educating
the Nigerian child about the importance of quality sleep and its impact on
academic excellence.
“In order to
achieve this, Mouka is consolidating the Inter School essay competition which
commenced last year. The campaign was
very successful as over 120 schools participated from around the country,”
Odelola averred.
“… Looking at our
society, especially cities like Lagos, most students don’t get enough quality
sleep. They often sleep late and wake up early to get ready and still catch the
6.30am school bus. This explains the regular sight of students sleeping while
in class and this affects their ability to learn.
“That is why as a
company, Mouka has taken it upon itself, to educate school children about the
importance of quality sleep, and how it aids brain development and smartness”.
As a build up to the finale, Nigeria’s leading
foam and bedding products manufacturer presented Mouka award for academic
excellence at the Baptist Academy and Krystal Bal International School,
both in Lagos.
Students rewarded were Chianu Solomon and Amini
Awwal of Baptist Academy, who emerged overall best Secondary School leaving
candidate (SSS3) and overall best Junior Secondary School candidate
respectively.
Others from Krystal
Bal International School are Momoh Rafeekat, JSS3 overall best student and
Dokunmu Oluwafisayomi overall best primary school leaver respectively.
Winners of the Quality Sleep, Smarter kids Contest will smile home with the sum of
₦200,000, while the first and second runners up will receive ₦150,000 and
₦100,000 respectively.
