“The Secondary Schools Bible Competition is one of the many programmes organised by the BSN in fulfilment of its mission to meet the Scripture needs of Nigerians and to help them interact with the Word of God. As an annual event, the competition serves to provide a platform for the youths to internalize biblical values to help them to become better citizens and responsible leaders to build a better Nigeria.

“2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

 The Bible Society of Nigeria was founded on 8th February 1966 through the pioneering efforts of the late Dr Francis Ezeogo Akanu Ibiam, the first indigenous Governor of the defunct Eastern Region.Dr Ibiam had initiated a consultation with representatives of most of the Churches [Church organizations] in Nigeria on the need to form a national Bible Society in Nigeria. It was the unanimous decision of that meeting that The Bible Society of Nigeria be formed which consequently led to its formation and inauguration on February 8, 1966.
