Victor ETUOKWUDear Joyce, Thank you for the outstanding article. I appreciate your efforts. However, I'd like to respectfully correct a detail. Roseline ETUOKWU, the namesake of the annual National Secondary School Quiz competition, was my late mother, not my wife. I kindly request that you update the information to reflect this accurately. Thank you again for your excellent work. Best regards,
