About National Mathematical Sciences Olympiad Competitions

National Mathematical Centre has for many years been organising the Annual National Mathematical Sciences Olympiad competitions, a key initiative that significantly impacts the teaching and learning process in Nigeria’s educational system. Participation in these Olympiads provides students with opportunities for intellectual growth, personal achievement, and national recognition.

A Shift to Digital Platforms
Recognizing the increasing student interest and the need for timely and efficient administration of these competitions, we are excited to announce a paradigm shift to an online platform for the 2024 Olympiad. This transition aligns with global technological trends and provides numerous advantages over the traditional paper-based method, including broader accessibility, faster processing, and enhanced data accuracy.

Benefits for Students
The NMC, as the sole accredited institution in Nigeria responsible for selecting and presenting candidates for the International Mathematical Olympiad, is pleased to offer participating students a range of prestigious rewards, which include:

NATIONAL RECOGNITION: Standout students will be celebrated on a national platform, showcasing their exceptional talents.

INTERNATIONAL REPRESENTATION: High-achieving participants may be selected to represent Nigeria at international Olympiad competitions.
