The American University of Nigeria (AUN) has matriculated over 300 new students into the institution.

The ceremony, which marked the beginning of the 2025 academic year, was attended by esteemed faculties, proud parents, and the new students.

In his address, the President of AUN, Dewayne Frazier, emphasized the importance of education in today’s rapidly changing world.

He highlighted the need for critical thinking, creativity, and empathy in tackling pressing issues facing society.

Frazier also stressed the value of community service, urging the students to engage with their communities, understand their needs, and contribute positively.

The president shared a personal anecdote about discovering new foods, including Jollof Spaghetti, and expressed his love for Suya, a popular Nigerian dish.

He encouraged the students to try different foods, learn about other cultures, and build relationships with their classmates from diverse backgrounds.

The president said the AUN community comprises students from over 16 different countries and nearly every state in Nigeria, providing a unique opportunity for cultural exchange and learning.

Frazier emphasized the importance of embracing the values of integrity, respect, and responsibility, and pledged to support the students on their academic journey.

The ceremony marked the beginning of a new chapter for the fresh students who are now part of a legacy built on the foundations of knowledge, service, and leadership. He congratulated the students on this momentous occasion and welcomed them to the AUN community.

“As the students embark on their academic journey, they are encouraged to make a significant impact, not only within Nigeria but also across the globe. With the support of the university’s faculty and staff, the students are well-equipped to face the challenges of tomorrow and shape a future that reflects their highest aspirations and values,” he said

40th Anniversary: Ecobank Nigeria Launches New Edition of Super Rewards Campaign

40th Anniversary: Ecobank Nigeria Launches New Edition of Super Rewards Campaign

* Over N60m in cash rewards for customers

Ecobank Nigeria, a subsidiary of the leading pan-African banking group, has announced the launch of its Super Rewards campaign in celebration of the Group’s 40th anniversary.

As part of the campaign, more than N60 million in cash rewards has been earmarked for loyal customers. The campaign will run from September 2025 through January 2026.

Over the five-month period, a total of 914 customers will be rewarded with various cash prizes amounting to N61.2 million, in addition to enjoying a range of benefits that comes with banking with Ecobank. 

Announcing the launch in Lagos, the Head of Products & Analytics, Consumer & Commercial Banking at Ecobank Nigeria, Victor Yalokwu, explained that the campaign is designed both to commemorate the Group’s four decades of service in Africa and to reward customer loyalty.

According to Yalokwu, “This year’s campaign is a special celebration of Ecobank Group’s 40 years of operations across Africa and show appreciation to our customers by rewarding their loyalty even as we deliver first-class banking services to them. The campaign is open to new and existing individuals, businesses (including SMEs and schools), and youth (students) customers nationwide, including those who reactivate dormant accounts and meet specified deposit and transaction requirements. Monthly draws will be held, ending with a grand finale draw in January, 2026.”

Customers stand a chance to be rewarded with monthly cash prizes, stipends, education scholarships, business funding, and other lifestyle-enhancing rewards. The breakdown of the rewards includes:

Individual accounts: 420 customers from the monthly draws will get N16.8 million, with eight customers getting the grand prize of N8 million in January.

Business accounts: 420 customers from the monthly draws will get N16.8 million, with four customers getting the grand prize of N16 million to support their businesses.

Student accounts: 50 customers will be rewarded during the monthly draws, each receiving N40,000 (totalling N2 million), with four youth customers taking the grand reward, receiving education grant of N400,000 each (totalling N1.6 million).

Yalokwu emphasized the simplicity of the qualification process to encourage broad participation. 

New individual customers must open an account with a minimum of N10,000 and maintain it for 30 days to qualify for monthly draws. For the grand prize, customers must maintain a minimum deposit of N40,000 for three consecutive months.

Business customers need to open accounts with at least N40,000 and maintain the balance similarly, with grand prize qualifications requiring deposit growth of at least N400,000.

All participants must transact through Ecobank’s digital channels—including the Ecobank Mobile app, USSD (*326#), Ecobank Business app, OMNIPLUS, internet banking, or debit card. 

Monthly draw eligibility requires a minimum of four transactions, while grand prize qualification requires 12 transactions. Each deposit increment of N10,000 (individual) or N40,000 (business) increases chances to earn rewards.

Prospective customers can open accounts via the Ecobank Mobile app, while customers with dormant accounts can reactivate by visiting www.ecobank.com/ng/personal-banking.

“We encourage everyone to join and experience the benefits of banking with Ecobank, while getting rewarded for their loyalty,” Yalokwu concluded.
