On the 2nd of June, 2026, the Lagos State Ministry of Youth and Social Development hosted its annual Children's Day Spelling Bee Competition at the Adeyemi Bero Hall, Alausa, Ikeja.

The highly competitive event brought together brilliant representatives from six Local Government Education Authorities (LGEAs) across the state's education districts, including Alimosho, Kosofe, Lagos Island, Surulere, Ojo, and Ikeja.

Throughout the intense rounds, the participating pupils demonstrated outstanding spelling abilities, remarkable confidence, and academic excellence. In a thrilling conclusion to the contest, Alimosho (Education District I) emerged as the overall winner, securing the coveted first position. Yusuf Folorunsho, a standout pupil from Community Primary School, Ile-Epo, Oke-Odo, represented the district excellently and was presented with a well-deserved cash prize in recognition of this phenomenal achievement.

The event beautifully highlighted the importance of literacy, healthy competition, and academic excellence among primary school pupils in Lagos State. The Education Secretary is proud of our pupils and remains deeply committed to fostering an environment where young minds can continuously achieve greatness and bring honor to the community.

Did You Know? 🌎✨

The fear of long words is called Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia. The 36-letter word was first used by the Roman poet Horace in the first century BCE to criticise those writers with an unreasonable penchant for long words.

It was American poet Aimee Nezheukumatathil, possibly afraid of their own surname, who coined the term as we know it now, in year 2000.
