The schoolgirl, whose attendance at this year’s championship is with support from Zenith Bank Plc., is the only African Champion in this year’s championship. The bank has partnered with ReadAmana, since 2007 and sponsored Nigerian winners’ participation in the World championship.
Katherine Eta averred that “Last year, I went for the world championship and I came tenth in the world and I decided that I was going to go again this year doing a different programme and this year because I work harder and because I was more determined, I came third in the world,”
Opening up on she plans to do with her newly acquired expertise in the Microsoft application, Katherine Eta revealed that she intends to get better still at using it and then use the knowledge to help others.
