Stanley Okoronta, an economics graduate from the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti, won the inter-platoon debate on the topic “Degree vs Skills: Has formal education lost its value in today’s tech-focused job market?” Okoronta argued that education had not kept pace with global technological changes, saying, “The archaic methods of the teaching models in Nigeria cannot hold a candle to the rapid development of AI, which is moving at the speed of light.”

Josephine Adetula, a Mass Communication graduate from Adekunle Ajasin University, won the Social Media Content Creation Competition with a ₦100,000 prize. She attributed her win to the support of her colleagues, saying, “I am extremely grateful to Vistara for this opportunity. Participating in this competition has allowed me to develop my profile and portfolio in social media content creation.

The NYSC Lagos State Coordinator, Mrs Christiana Salmwang, encouraged corps members to develop practical skills, saying, “I encourage corps members to develop soft and relevant skills that make them self-sufficient and independent. Initiatives like this competition provide opportunities for growth, creativity, and professional development.”

Vistara’s Digital Marketing Manager, Mr Afolabi Kazeem, stated that the programme aimed to broaden corps members’ outlook, saying, “This campaign is just one of many ways we hope to empower Nigerian youth, especially corps members, by helping them think #BeyondTheKhaki.” The company provided free consultations on study-abroad opportunities, scholarships, visa processes, and mentorship.

Vistara’s Business Support and Client Engagement Executive, Mr Samuel Adegbola, expressed the company’s commitment to creating opportunities for young people, saying, “This is just a piece of what Vistara Solutions is about, we want to create opportunities for the youth. And this is just the beginning.
