For many students at Ekiti State University (EKSU), the MTN Live it 100 Campus Tour has been more than a chance to play games or watch movies. They say the experience has reminded them that university life is about balancing academics with fun, creativity and personal growth.
As the three-day campus activation continues ahead of its grand finale on Friday, July 17, students who attended the event said the activation offered a refreshing break from the routine of lectures and assignments while encouraging them to make the most of their time in school.
“Live it 100 means we are balancing education with the fun part,” said Ayodeji Aderemi, a 300-level Electrical and Electronics Engineering student. “We are having fun, but we also know why we are in school.”
That view was shared by several other students who said the event helped them see that enjoying campus life does not have to come at the expense of their studies.
“You don’t have to always read, read, read,” said Inioluwa, a 200-level Civil Engineering student. “You can attend events like this, spend time with your friends and still focus on your studies. It’s about balancing everything.”
For Miriam Adebayo, a 200-level Mass Communication student, the event was a reminder that students should also make time to relax. “Sometimes, have fun. When you are having fun, give it your 100 per cent. When you’re studying too, give it your 100 per cent,” she said.
During the event, students took part in digital games, interactive activities, and the Cinema Experience, with many describing the experience as one of the biggest campus events they had attended.
Randy Dukas, a 200-level Mass Communication student, said what stood out for him was how the event brought different experiences together in one place. “It combined games, music and fun. Live it 100 means giving your best in everything you do, whether it’s school, social activities or life.”
For others, the event was simply an opportunity to unwind after weeks of academic work.
“Life doesn’t always have to be hard,” Miriam added. “We only live once.”
With the grand finale set for Friday, July 17, anticipation is building across the campus as students look forward to more entertainment, interactive experiences and the chance for one lucky student to drive home in a brand-new car.
While the excitement continues, many students say they are leaving with something more valuable than prizes and entertainment: the reminder that getting the most out of university means giving their best both inside and outside the classroom.
