Etisalat’s pact with the Nigerian youths came to the fore
when it took its youth empowerment programme, Cliqfest,
to Delta State University, (DELSU), Abraka last weekend,
for the second time. This time a 100-Level student of the
Industrial Chemistry Department, Prince McCarthy,
emerged the latest winner of the star prize of a brand new
Hyundai i10 after taking part in the raffle draw.
Head, Youth Segment, Etisalat Nigeria, Elvis Daniel noted
that the company is bringing Cliqfest to DELSU for the
second time in about three years due to the success
recorded at the first outing. He noted that the students of
the institution were passionate about the event and
displayed great knowledge of the EasyCliq package.
“What we set out to achieve at each school we visit is to
engage the students in activities that would develop them
intellectually, physically and socially. Etisalat is equipping
Nigerian youths with the requisite knowledge and skills to
excel in every area of their lives after school.” He said.
The two-day programme recorded a large turn-out of
students who came to participate in the different activities
similar to previous campuses. A motivational seminar,
novelty match, concert, comedy, dance competition and
raffle draws were the memorable moments experienced
by the students.
Day one of the programme kicked off with the seminar
facilitated by motivational speaker, Niyi Adesanya tagged
‘Success Activation’. The Students Union Government
(SUG) President, Obaro Ohwojero speaking after the
seminar expressed his gratitude to Etisalat for bringing
Cliqfest to his school for once again.
Despite the intermittent downpour on day two, the
students trooped out en masse for a novelty football
match followed by a concert with headlining acts like
Terry G, Solid star and Nigerian Idol season 4 winner,
Evelle. Raffle draws were held and prizes given out,
including mobile devices, laptops, Etisalat branded t-
shirts, cash prizes and the aforementioned star prize of a
car.
