After 18 years of involvement with the sponsorship of Mathematics competitions in Nigeria, Promasidor Nigeria Limited, manufacturers of Cowbell – Our Milk, has taken a strategic decision to bring all its Mathematics intervention activities by Cowbell under one umbrella, Cowbellpedia.
The Cowbellpedia Secondary Schools Mathematics TV Quiz Show is a platform to discover, recognize and reward excellence in Mathematics, a critical component of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education in Nigeria.
This is in addition to the quality nutrition that is provided by the Cowbell brand for the nourishment of the Nigerian populace especially children.
