Mr. Adedeji said 10 contestants will be chosen to represent the faculties on each campus through a raffle draw; adding that the best from each campus will represent each participating university at the Grand Finale in Lagos.
The prizes to be won at the Campus contest are: Deep Freezer for the first position, with the second and third best winning Gas Burners.
The Category Manager said all winners from the 14 campuses will converge in Lagos for the Grand Finale to contest for a brand new Kia Rio vehicle.
