He informed that the programme will be chaired by the Managing Consultant, BIC Consultancy Services, Dr. Boniface Chizea.
Mordi explained that through the competition, the BSN has been proffering solutions to the socio-economic and political challenges confronting the country, using biblical and intellectual approaches. “The topic of this year’s edition is: “Re-engineering the Nigerian System for Sustainable Development. Winner of the competition, as well as the second and third runners-up will go home with a laptop each, a copy of the Bible and management books, while three others will receive a smart phone, a copy of the Bible, and management books each, as consolation prizes.”
He noted also hinted that the Bible Society of Nigeria is a not-for-profit interdenominational Christian organisation that translates the Bible into Nigerian languages, publishes, distributes, raises funds for the Bible work, as well as organises programmes that engage people with the word of God to transform their lives. “So far, the BSN has translated the complete Bible into 26 Nigerian Languages, while the translation/revision is on-going in 10 Nigerian Languages.”
