The Cowbell National Secondary Schools Mathematics Competition is an event sponsored by Cowbell Milk (a quality food product from Promasidor Nigeria Limited) and approved by the Federal Ministry of Education.
We have been running this competition nationally for over a decade and it is widely acclaimed as one of the most credible educational competitions in Nigeria that truly seeks to reward excellence.
We wish to express our sincere gratitude for the total support and encouragement given to the competition during the previous editions and to seek your continued support in our efforts to help our students develop an interest in mathematics, science and vocational subjects, in line with the National Curriculum, so that we can together move education forward in Nigeria.
The 2015 edition marks the 15th year sponsorship of NASSMAC by Cowbell. To commemorate this feat, the Second Stage has been modified to include an interactive QUIZ format (Quarter-Final, Semi-final & Final).
Also, the prize money has been improved for both students and teachers. This is part of Cowbell’s effort in rewarding excellence.
There are prizes for Candidates and Teachers both at the State and National levels. Apart from cash prizes, the National Champions and their Teachers will be sponsored to an all expense paid vacation.
