Essay entries should be between 500 and 750 words, and should detail – in no particular order – the young applicant’s perception of Nigeria’s current economic realities, his or her vision for an economically vibrant Nigeria, proposals for beginning to untangle economic challenges today, and what role he or she is willing and able to play (both now and in the future) to actualize those ideas for today and visions for the future.
