South-East Students Dominate 2026 National Mathematics Competition with Historic Clean Sweep
Students from Nigeria’s South-East geopolitical zone delivered a stunning performance at the 2026 National Mathematics Competition in Abuja. They swept every category in a rare and historic clean sweep. The annual contest, organised by Nigerian Tulip International Colleges with support from the National Mathematical Centre, drew over 10,000 pupils and students nationwide. South-East contenders have also excelled in earlier regional olympiads. Standout institutions include Diamond Special College, where a pupil recently won the primary category at a major regional mathematics olympiad, and Divine Rays British School, long known for producing national champions. These schools reflect the region’s vibrant academic ecosystem. Education analysts attribute this dominance to years of strong STEM emphasis, disciplined study culture, and rigorous training in states such as Anambra, Imo, and Enugu. While the official list of winners is pending, this clean sweep cements the South-East as a national leader in mathematics excellence.
