Speaking after receiving the grand prize, Idea Chibuike of Sacred Heart School Lagos, who created an Indomie Pyramid, said the decision to create an Indomie Pyramid was borne out of the desire to do something special away from others.
Chibuike said she has always been fascinated by the story around the groundnut pyramid of the North hence her decision to use that creative idea in her project.
She lauded Dufil Prima Foods for creating the avenue for her and other children to develop their creative ideas through the Fan Club.
