“And it is my sincere hope that such awareness, interest and appreciation would continue to flourish and prosper even after graduation of the student-writers,” he noted

Instituted in 2016 to stimulate creativity and promote literary excellence amongst Nigerian undergraduates, the award has had two grand prizewinners – Noah Oladele, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife (2016) and Bakre Fadil Adedamola, University of Ibadan (2017).

The prizewinners of this current edition will be announced at the NSPP Awards slated for May 24, 2018 at Godfrey Okoye University, Enugu.
