Students at Nigerian tertiary institutions can now take part in a monthly nationwide objective VirtualTest meant to encourage learning and provide student support funding as a reward.
The nationwide Objectives VirtualTest, which will be administered via the Mobile Classroom app, will cover a wide range of academic disciplines. Each month, a select set of courses will be highlighted. The recipients for August 2024 are students of Mass Communication, Political Science, Business/Public Administration, and Social Science Education.
Nigerian students enrolled in these courses, regardless of institution, level, or location, are welcome to take the planned nationwide VirtualTest using the Mobile Classroom app. The test will decide the recipients of the four million naira student support funds available for August.
Reputable guest lecturers from higher institutions across the country have been appointed to administer the nationwide VirtualTest for different categories. These lecturers have also set up their individual classes on the Mobile Classroom app, uploading video lectures on various topics. Participants are required to study these materials ahead of the contest.
The guest lecturers for the August test are Dr. Ayobami Elegunde of the Department of Business Administration, Lagos State University (LASU); Dr. Wasiu Tejuoso of the Department of Mass Communication, Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY); Dr. Sheidu Kamoru of the Faculty of Education, University of Lagos (UNILAG); and Dr. Tokpo Coronation of the Political Science Department, Federal University, Otuoke.
The live VirtualTest on the Mobile Classroom app allows participants to join from their respective locations at the scheduled time. Participants who fail to join at the given start time will lose the chance to access the VirtualTest.
The schedule for the August 2024 nationwide VirtualTest is as follows: Mass Communication students on Saturday, 31st August at 5:00 PM; Political Science students on Friday, 30th August at 5:30 PM; Business Administration students on Friday, 30th August at 6:30 PM; and Social Science Education students on Friday, 30th August at 5:00p.m.

This initiative, funded by Mobile Classroom Ltd., aims to stimulate learning and empower youth with innovative ideas and business plans that often remain unrealized due to lack of funds. Akeem Salami, CEO of Mobile Classroom Ltd., welcomes partnerships and sponsorships from brands and corporate organizations for the monthly nationwide VirtualTest.
