Speaking on the concept of the quiz play, Mamuzo Ogbeta, the presenter of the secondary school category described it as the passion to see that students are sent back to schools.

“It is our passion or desire to see that students are sent back to school. Some of them have brain but do not have the money to go to school. It is either they are already in school but struggling to pay their fees or they do not even have the means of being in school because they do not have the financial wherewithal. So FELD seeks to empower them financially to achieve their educational dreams” Mamuzo said.

The Television based educational play airing on MITV, is designed in a way that intending participants can text the word “EXCEL” to a short code 35811 to be part of the show. The programme that officially started in August 2012 has had four episodes (three in secondary category and one in tertiary category) with ten winners recorded already.

They are Chidinma Ezugu N155, 000.000, Precious Onowudijo N120, 000.00, Adewole Toluwani  N55, 000.00, Adidu Obi N55, 000.00 Iko Abasi Melodi N10, 000.00.
