Etisalat takes Cliqfest to Aba … As HND1 student wins brand new car

Nigeria’s most innovative telecommunications company, Etisalat Nigeria, recently stormed the Enyimba City with its student empowerment initiative, ‘Cliqfest’. The event held at the Abia State Polytechnic, Aba, recently.


The fun-packed two-day campus storm which took place at the Abia State Polytechnic saw many students smiling home with numerous prizes including the ultimate prize of a brand new car. Cliqfest is an Etisalat youth educational, entertainment and customer reward initiative targeted at the Nigerian Students. The shows are characterised by seminars, concerts and football tournaments all aimed at giving students opportunities to identify with the Easycliq product and have fun while learning and winning prizes.

Manager, Youth Segment, Etisalat Nigeria, Idiare Atimomo who spoke at the event in Aba, made it clear that Etisalat was on a mission to impact positively on Nigerian youths and would stop at nothing to demonstrate its commitment to creating equal opportunities among Nigerian students which will help them develop their talents in a bid to attain success once out of school.

“Cliqfest is one of the ways we try to connect with our customers in the youth segment. We understand their telephony needs and have responded to it innovatively with our Easycliq package. Bringing Etisalat Cliqfest to Nigerian higher institutions is just one of the ways we show how much we appreciate our customers and reward them,” Atimomo said.

On the empowerment seminar, he said, “many of the things they have learnt  at the seminar today should help develop and improve theirskills later in life. This is the higher institution we have been to, impacting knowledge and giving out gifts.”

There was a lot of excitement when Etisalat presented prizes to students who won in a raffle draw. Prizes presented include, Etisalat Gaga Smart phones, Nokia Asha Smart phones, recharge cards and other prizes as well as the star prize of the day, a brand new Kia Picanto car which was won by Chikelu Obijiofor, a HND1 student of Business Administration and Management.
 

Overjoyed by the win,  Chikelu explained that it was only an act of God as he still could not believe he won the car. He said: “I am very overwhelmed. Words cannot describe how I feel; I am shaking inside because I am too excited. God did it for me because I prayed and even fasted when I heard Etisalat was coming to our school. This is the best gift anybody can give me and I thank Etisalat for this gift. I can never forget this day because I never thought that at my age I will be able to ride a car of my own. I thank Etisalat for what they have done in my life and I will always continue to be an ambassador for Etisalat.”

The event was spiced up with musical performances from popular Nigerian artistes like Terry G,  Mr. Raw and first runner up of the just concluded Nigerian Idol, Debbie Rise.
