Transcorp Power Plc announced that Etagbedavwe Amwarha emerged as the overall winner of the statewide contest, outperforming other finalists in a rigorous, multi-stage competition organised by the Delta State Government.
The competition assessed pupils’ mathematical abilities through three distinct stages. It began with 172 participants drawn from various Local Government Areas across the state. From this pool, 41 pupils representing the Delta Central Senatorial District progressed to the second round.
The contest was eventually narrowed to eight finalists from across Delta State, who converged in Asaba for the grand finale. Competing against the best at that level, Amwarha distinguished himself to emerge as the overall winner.
The company described the achievement as a reflection of its commitment to advancing educational excellence and supporting youth development within its host communities.

He noted that the company remains dedicated to fostering growth and creating opportunities through targeted investments in education.
According to him, empowering young people through learning initiatives is a key pillar of the company’s community engagement strategy, and such efforts will continue to receive priority attention.
Also commenting, the Principal of Transcorp Power School, Emeji Okeoghene, described the victory as a shared accomplishment. She attributed the success to the collective efforts of the school’s teachers, the dedication of its pupils, and the enabling support provided by Transcorp Power Plc.
In his reaction, Etagbedavwe Amwarha expressed appreciation to his parents, teachers, and the company for creating an environment that nurtured his academic growth. He added that the recognition has further motivated him to strive for greater achievements.
