Etisalat Engages ABU Students with Cliqfest

Innovative and youth-centric telecommunications company, Etisalat Nigeria, has for the second time, connected with the students of Ahmadu Bello University with its youth engagement programme, Cliqfest.

The programme, themed: “Activate your Dreams” lasted for two days and offered students the opportunity to receive motivation talks and entertainment with a fusion of football, music performance, raffle draws and gifts presentation.

On the first day of the two-part programme, motivational speaker and life coach, Niyi Adesanya, charged students to be positive about life and to go on to fulfil their potentials.

The second day of Cliqfest witnessed a novelty match, musical concert, dance and rap competitions, and a raffle draw that provided opportunity for the students to relax, socialise and win various gifts.

The Manager of Consumer Segment, Etisalat Nigeria, Debo Agun, expressed joy at the warm reception accorded the Cliqfest team by the school management and students. “We consider ABU home. Beyond bringing Cliqfest here, the Etisalat Telecommunications Engineering Postgraduate Programme (ETEPP), the first-of-kind telecommunications engineering course in the country, is located in ABU as part of our Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives which are built on three pillars: Education, Health and Environment” he said.

One of the high points of the event was the emergence of Blessing Josiah, a 200-level female student of Business Administration as the star prize winner of a brand new Hyundai i10 car after her participation in a raffle draw. Several other students also received fantastic prizes such as mobile phones and laptops courtesy of Tecno Mobile.
