Pupils from public primary and Secondary schools across Bariga Local Council Development Area have competed in the 2026 spelling bee competition, putting their vocabulary, pronunciation and concentration to the test.
The preliminary competition saw the pupils through series of spelling rounds, challenging them to demonstrate accuracy and confidence as they tackled words of varying difficulty.
At the end of the contest, winners emerged and will represent Bariga LCDA at the state level of the competition.
The Council Authorities say the initiative is also aimed at encouraging pupils to take greater interest in learning and developing their language skills.
