RayAfrik, in collaboration with Heritage-Plus and the National Association of Nigerian Students/Joint Campus Council (NANS/JCC) Delta State Axis, has officially launched Naija Campus Quest, a new initiative aimed at discovering and empowering talented students in tertiary institutions across Nigeria through a blend of entertainment and education.
The project’s pilot phase, tagged Delta Campus Freestyle Competition, is designed to showcase student creativity while promoting academic awareness and leadership potential.
A statement by, Mr. Robinson Koyoyo, Managing Partner of RayAfrik and Senior Special Assistant to the Delta State Governor on Entertainment, Edirin Obada, said the initiative is intended to strike a balance between academics and talent development.
They stressed that in today’s world, entertainers are more than performers, they are influential voices and that Naija Campus Quest is built to nurture such voices within an educational context.
According to him, the goal is to produce well-rounded student entertainers who can think critically, lead with purpose, and inspire others.
On behalf of the student community, Comrade Samson Ikpahwore, Chairman of NANS/JCC Delta State, described the initiative as a timely and visionary platform.
He said students in Delta and beyond possess remarkable but largely untapped talent, and praised the program for offering a structured opportunity for exposure and growth.
He also expressed gratitude to the Executive Assistant to the Governor on Student Affairs, Dr. Ezekiel O. Okoh, for his commitment to student development, and called on both government and private sector stakeholders to support the initiative.
The Delta Campus Freestyle Competition, which serves as the maiden edition of Naija Campus Quest, is set to begin in August 2025 with a multi-stage format including auditions, campus qualifiers, and a grand finale in Asaba.
The winner will receive a grand prize of ₦2 million, along with national media exposure and brand partnership opportunities. Campus champions will receive ₦200,000 each and automatic qualification for the final, while second-place winners will also proceed directly to the grand finale.
Those who place third and fourth at the campus level will be entered into a voting poll for a chance to secure remaining finalist spots.
The competition is open to all students currently enrolled in Delta State tertiary institutions, and participation is free. Auditions will take place in two phases to align with the academic calendar.
The first phase is scheduled to run from August 25 to 29, 2025, across campuses in FUPRE, Delta State University of Science and Technology, Ozoro, and Asaba.
The second phase, which will include Delta State University, Abraka, and Delta State Polytechnic, Oghara, will take place in November.
RayAfrik, the organization behind the initiative, is a creative enterprise committed to promoting African talent through purpose-driven entertainment with a strong emphasis on youth empowerment, innovation, and education.
The launch of Naija Campus Quest marks a bold step towards redefining campus culture and amplifying student voices across Nigeria.
