Skybil Brands Day: Celebrating FUTA Brands and Giving Back to the Community

 

Skybil Brands Day: FUTA Students, Brands, and a Million Naira Giveaway

Skybil, in collaboration with NUESA (Faculty of Engineering) and ACOMS (School of Computing), recently hosted a vibrant 3-day online event called Skybil Brands Day. The initiative was designed to spotlight FUTA’s student-owned brands, support them with visibility, and most importantly, give back to the student community in a meaningful way.

We were also thrilled to have @Ria of Ria Bags FUTA as a co-host from the School of Computing, bringing energy and entrepreneurial flair to the event.

What Happened Over the 3 Days?

Day 1 – Virtual Trade Fair (Friday)

The event kicked off with a virtual trade fair hosted in our WhatsApp group community. Student entrepreneurs showcased their businesses, interacted with attendees, and built visibility for their brands in real-time. It was a space filled with energy, support, and genuine engagement.

Day 2 – Brand Giveaway (Saturday)

We moved straight into giving back. Brands came together and gave out a total of ₦600,000 in cash prizes, mobile data, airtime, and other goodies to Futarians. The excitement was real and the turnout exceeded expectations.

Day 3 – Final Giveaway and Games (Sunday)

Sunday wrapped everything up with even more surprises — giveaways continued, fun trivia games were introduced (like guessing the FUTASU Vice President-elect), and a special Skybil gift was shared with all active participants.

In total, the giveaways across all three days were valued at over ₦1 million naira, with many students walking away with something valuable — whether it was data, cash, or even just visibility for their brand.

Why It Matters

Skybil Brands Day wasn’t just a fun event — it was a chance to create impact, celebrate the entrepreneurial spirit within FUTA, and build stronger connections between brands and their audience. For us, this is just the start of something bigger.

With over 1,000 students in attendance, this event proved that when brands, communities, and platforms like Skybil come together, real value is created.

What’s Next?

Skybil is committed to empowering Nigerian students with relevant digital skills and opportunities that position them for success beyond campus.

Let’s keep building the future — one student, one brand, one idea at a time.
