Nigeria’s Young STEM Warriors from Rivers State & Niger Delta Break Through to the World Robot Olymp
Nigeria’s Young STEM Warriors from Rivers State & Niger Delta Break Through to the World Robot Olympiad Singapore 2025 — A New Era of Innovation for Nigeria, Rivers State & the Niger Delta
A new chapter is unfolding in Nigeria — one written not with crude oil or politics, but with Robotics, Code, Creativity, and the unstoppable brilliance of young minds from Rivers State, the Niger Delta, and the entire South-South.
After a fiercely competitive national qualification, a 13-man delegation from the South-South has officially earned the right to represent Nigeria at the World Robot Olympiad (WRO) Singapore 2025 — one of the world’s most prestigious global robotics and innovation championships.
This is more than a win.
It’s a shift in what the world expects from Nigeria’s next generation.
It’s history gearing up for takeoff.
From Local Stages to the Global Arena
Their journey began at the WRO Nigeria National Qualification, powered by the ArcLights Foundation — a tournament where only the brightest ideas survived.
Then came STEM Festival 2025, hosted by STEM Professionals Ltd in partnership with the Nigeria Computer Society and a network of international STEM organizations. Across Rivers State and the South-South, students showcased world-class creativity — robots, AI concepts, engineering builds, and bold innovations that left judges stunned.
From this crucible of brilliance emerged the finest:
Best Elementary Teams
Best Junior Teams
Best Senior Teams
They didn’t just compete —
They excelled, earning their place among innovators from over 90 countries.
Rivers State & the Niger Delta — A New Image for a New Generation
For decades, Rivers State and the Niger Delta have been viewed through a narrow lens: oil, conflict, resource politics.
But this generation is rewriting the script.
Through robotics, engineering, AI, and problem-solving, these young innovators are proving that:
Rivers State is not just a land of resources —
It is a land of talent, creativity, and fearless innovation.
Their qualification is not just a local triumph — it is a regional and national milestone. A signal that the South-South is rising with a new identity shaped by knowledge, invention, and global competence.

At the heart of this historic moment stands Gabriel Misa (Gabramns) and the STEM Professionals team — a passionate STEM developer driven by a mission to place Rivers State, the Niger Delta, Nigeria, and Africa on the global map of STEM excellence.
As CEO of STEM Professionals Ltd — an indigenous, globally accredited, and award-winning STEM development company — he has spent years building a pipeline of world-class innovators, training teachers, and creating transformative platforms like STEM Festival, STEM-A-THON, and regional STEM leagues.
Today, that mission is becoming reality.
Port Harcourt now proudly stands on the global map (see where the teams are coming from at www.wro2025.org) as home to some of the brightest young innovators heading to the World Robot Olympiad — a testament to visionary leadership, resilient students, and a forward-thinking community committed to innovation.
Under Gabriel’s leadership, the 13-man delegation is fully prepared and ready to represent Nigeria with excellence on the world stage.
Nigeria Is Rising — And These Young Minds Are Lighting the Path
This delegation represents far more than competition:
It represents a Nigeria whose future is powered by innovation.
A Rivers State where creativity thrives.
A Niger Delta where talent is taking its rightful place on the global stage.
These young innovators are ready to stand tall in Singapore — not as underdogs, but as world-class competitors from Port Harcourt, carrying the hopes and brilliance of an entire region.
