Seventeen Nigerian students from four schools in Abuja have represented the country at the iCode Competition in Beijing, China, as part of efforts to promote Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education.
The students, led by Glisten International Academy, participated in the competition on Saturday, August 22, 2026. They were accompanied by five chaperones.
The Nigerian team showcased their creativity, technological skills and innovative abilities at the international competition.
The Nigerian Embassy in China, which was represented at the event, expressed pride in the students’ performance, describing their participation as a reflection of the developmental potential of Nigerian youths.
The students later paid a courtesy visit to the Nigerian Embassy, where they were received by Nigeria’s Ambassador to China, Abdulrahman Dambazau.
Dambazau commended the students and the schools for providing them with the opportunity to gain international exposure and experience.
He also praised the Executive Director of Glisten International Academy, Engr Abba Abdullahi Saidu, and members of his team for supporting the students’ participation.
The ambassador reminded the students that academic learning must be accompanied by good character and responsible behaviour.
“Learning and character must always go together,” Dambazau told the students, stressing the importance of good conduct wherever they found themselves.
He also encouraged public schools across Nigeria’s 36 states to create similar opportunities for young people to participate in international academic, technological and innovation programmes.
According to him, learning should extend beyond the classroom, with exposure to different cultures and international platforms helping young Nigerians broaden their knowledge and develop their potential.
