Edomwonyi Osariemen, a 200-level student from the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Benin (UNIBEN), has been gifted a brand-new 2025 Alsvin Mikano car courtesy of the MTN Go MAD Campus Invasion programme.
Oluwafemi Adesina, Youth Segment Manager at MTN Nigeria, stated that the campus invasion at UNIBEN was the third stop on MTN’s university tour this year.
“MTN is a youthful brand, and our strategic pillars toward Nigerian youth are empowerment and entertainment; these are the pillars we use to connect emotionally with young Nigerians,” he said.
“Like I said, we believe so much in empowering young Nigerians, so one of the things we have done differently this year is to make sure we create opportunities like this for students. Knowing that school is an educational institution, students often overlook entertainment as something they need to consider. So, MTN steps in to bring entertainment as well as empowerment.
“Empowerment in the sense that we are aware young people now have small businesses they run, so we allow five to seven students to showcase their products and services. At a trade fair, they would pay for space, but in our event, we give such space free of charge.
“With over a million young students reached over the course of three days, with a wide range of activities — booths for student entrepreneurs, game booths, and many more — the series has become one of the most talked-about campus events across the country. Plans are underway for the University of Kano as the next stop for the campus invasion,” he added.
Edomwonyi was one of the hundreds of students who participated in a raffle draw. Other students also won laptops, MTN MiFi devices, and airtime worth thousands of naira.
