It was fun and excitement at the Federal
University of Technology, Akure (FUTA) as most innovative telecommunications
company in Nigeria, Etisalat, staged its special two-day Cliqfest programme.
Etisalat Cliqfest which held at the university’s premises last weekend is a
youth-centric, empowerment, and educative initiative that aims at boosting
all-round development of the Nigerian youth.

Anchored by ‘king of humour’
and fast growing Comedian of the Federal Republic (CFR), Bashiru Ahmed Adekunle,
the event witnessed performances from several sensations in the music industry
such as Skales, Reminsce, Evelle,
Lil Kesh, and Mo Easy.
Manager, Youth Segment at Etisalat Nigeria,
Idiareno Atimomo, stated, “Etisalat is happy to bring fun and educative
programmes to university students as it encourages young adults to connect with
their peers and make them understand that the ability to succeed is available
to anyone that believes. It is for this reason that Etisalat Nigeria is impacting
students with the needed skills to prepare the Nigerian youth for the
ever-dynamic world.”
Climaxing the event was the winning of a
brand new car by Onoriukpe Timothy Efemena. A 100 level Mechanical Engineering
student at FUTA, Efemena rode home a brand new Hyundai i10 car courtesy of
Etisalat Nigeria. An obviously excited Efemena, who had just resumed at the
university as a fresher, commended the brand for giving him such a great
opportunity. “Winning the highly coveted grand prize of a car is truly a dream
come true for me and I am forever grateful to Etisalat for it,” he quipped.
During the course of the two day initiative,
several students were rewarded with amazing prizes such as laptops, mobile
phones, and other prizes.
It will be recalled that the maiden edition
of the Etisalat Cliqfest held at the Yaba College of Technology, Lagos, on
September 8, 2012. Since then the youth empowerment initiative has gone through
several Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges of Education in Nigeria,
impacting on the lives of students.
