For the primary school category, Fareedah Yusuf from Ire-Akari Primary School came first while Abdul Azeez Mutolleeb from Akinbaiye Primary School and Dorcas Olowu from Estate Nursery and Primary School emerged the first and second runners up.

The pupils are to represent the council at the state level of the competition that will be organised by the state government to compete for the grand prizes which include the status of One-Day Governor.

The council chairman advised them to intensify their study in order to fend off competition from their contenders from other schools and make the LCDA proud.
