The Zeribe Nwosu Foundation (ZNF) hereby launch the ZNF Annual Essay Competition for the year 2024. In this essay, authors are to reflect on their own experience or perspectives gathered in consultation with others to articulate the challenges/issues associated with undergraduate education in Nigeria.
