UNIBEN Students Thrilled As Engineering Student Carts Off Car Prize During MTN Campus Invasion

MTN Go MAD Campus Invasion hit the University of Benin (UNIBEN) between September 11 and 13, transforming the school into a hub of entertainment and innovation. For the three days, students explored interactive booths and engaged in workshops designed to empower their skills and ideas, while participating in dance and game shows that kept the audience enraptured. But as the event entered its final phase on Saturday, all eyes turned to the life-changing prizes that captured the campus's imagination: a brand-new car prize.

Edomwonyi Osariemen, a 200-level student of the Faculty of Engineering, was one of the hundreds of students who participated in the raffle draw. His lucky draw earned him a brand-new 2025 Alsvin Mikano car. “I still can’t believe this happened to me. While I participated in the raffle draw, I only came to enjoy the event with my friends, and now I’m leaving with a brand-new car! This has changed everything for me,” he said with excitement.

Other students also won laptops, MTN Mifi, and airtime worth thousands of naira. One of the participants, Daniel, shared that. “I didn’t win the car, but I won a laptop, and it means a lot. Even beyond the prices, this event gave us confidence to showcase our talents and connect with opportunities,” he admitted.

The Campus Invasion in UNIBEN is the third location for MTN’s highly anticipated university tour this year. With over a million young students reached over the course of three days, with a wide range of activities - booths for student entrepreneurs, game booths, and many more - the series has become one of the most-talked-about campus events across the country. Plans are underway for the University of Kano as the next stop for the Campus Invasion.
