The University of Lagos (UNILAG) has hosted a presentation ceremony to formally hand over a brand-new 2025 Alsvin Mikano car to the winner of the MTN Campus Invasion competition.
The official handover was conducted by Folasade Tolulope Ogunsola, Vice-Chancellor of UNILAG, who commended MTN Nigeria for its sustained commitment to youth empowerment and educational development.
The recipient, Babatunde Ayomide Emmanuel, a 100-level student of Industrial Mathematics at UNILAG, emerged winner of the competition, which rewarded customer engagement and loyalty among students during MTN’s Campus Invasion programme. Valued at about N35 million, the car was presented to the student in the presence of university executives and his parent.
Speaking at the event, Prof. Ogunsola underscored the importance of responsible corporate citizenship, noting that partnerships between the private sector and academic institutions play a critical role in supporting students’ growth.
“It is truly gratifying to witness a private sector entity not only providing essential services but also directly investing in the future of our students. This vehicle represents a significant start for the young recipient,” she said.
Expressing his gratitude, Emmanuel described the moment as unforgettable.
“I am deeply honoured and genuinely grateful to MTN Nigeria for this extraordinary gift. Receiving the keys with my parent here from the Vice-Chancellor marks a momentous occasion. This car is a pivotal asset for my future endeavours,” he said. (PM News)
