The essence of National History Competition is to make our students we teach in our schools who are also the leaders of tomorrow have a glimpse of history with a view to making them become responsible and better leaders. We equally want to popularize the subject so that it continues to be taught in all our schools in Nigeria as a compulsory subject. We believe that a country without a sense of history is doomed. USA, UK, Russia and other nations know the importance of history, the reason why it is given importance in their educational curriculum. “History will guide you to development and perfection, and you will not repeat the mistakes of the past”. So, KNOW YOUR HISTORY.
