Rivers State Launches Competition For Youths’ Re-Orientation Theme Song With Cash Prizes

The Rivers State Ministry of Information and Communication on Monday called for entries for the theme song of the state’s advocacy campaign.

The entry, which is open to all persons residing and doing business in the state, is aimed at promoting and strengthening the campaign for a new orientation for Youths tagged #OurStateOurResponsibility.

The campaign will interface and interact with youths from the 23 local government areas, youths organizations and people living with disabilities.

Commissioner for Information and Communication, Pastor Paulinus Nsirim, also announced during the press briefing that the theme song competition will come with an incentive.

“The Ministry of Information and Communication has earmarked cash prizes for the best three entries. The overall best entry would attract a cash prize of three hundred thousand, while the second and third best entries would attract one hundred and fifty thousand naira and one hundred thousand naira respectively.

“But beyond the cash incentive lies even greater opportunity. This competition has the potentials of throwing up the winner to the national or global stage as we have seen from little beginnings of this nature.

“We therefore expect our creative minds to look beyond the cash incentive and think about the legacy that they can be remembered for.”
