Some agriculture student at Bayero University in Kano just walked away with a car that apparently cost MTN Nigeria around 35 million naira. Ramatu Yakubu became the sixth person to win one of these things during the telecom company's campus tour that has been rolling through universities, handing out laptops, tablets and straight cash to students.
MTN's youth segment guy Femi Adesina talked about how they are not holding back on spending to help build up young Nigerians. The company also pushed cheap data packages aimed at broke students who need to grind late at night, with some plans starting at 75 naira for overnight usage.
The whole thing wrapped up after three days of performances, gaming tournaments and business showcases. Five other students from places like the University of Abuja, FUTO, UNIBEN, MOAUM and FUNAAB already scored similar prizes earlier this year. MTN has partnerships with TECNO for device financing and LG for electronics but would not say how much they have dumped into the program since bringing it back in 2022.
