In addition, he said a number of participants who achieved perfect scores within the qualifying window emerged as consolation winners, as reflected in the official results list, which has been posted on the quiz website.
In line with established best practice for timed online assessments, entries, he disclosed, were assessed and ranked strictly on the basis of total score achieved, with earliest submission time applied as a tie-breaker where scores were equal. Only valid entries completed within the stipulated time, he noted, were considered for ranking and prize awards.
Governor Hope Uzodimma has approved N50 million for prize payment, and winners will be formally recognised during the Grande Finale of the Imo Golden Jubilee Celebrations on Sunday.
