In a move aimed at promoting learning and empowering Nigerian youth, Mobile Classroom Ltd has announced the launch of a nationwide VirtualTest initiative that will provide student support funds of up to N4 million.
The VirtualTest, which will be held on the Mobile Classroom app, is open to students in Nigerian tertiary institutions, regardless of their institution, level, or location. The test will cover a range of academic courses, with a different set of courses being the focus each month.
“For August 2024, the beneficiaries are students of Mass Communication, Political Science, Business/Public Administration, and Social Science Education,” the statement read. “Nigerian students studying these courses are invited to join the scheduled nationwide VirtualTest on the Mobile Classroom app.”
The CEO of Mobile Classroom, Akeem Salami, explained that the initiative aims to stimulate learning and empower youth with innovative ideas and business plans that often remain unrealized due to a lack of funds.

To ensure the success of the VirtualTest, Mobile Classroom has enlisted the help of reputable guest lecturers from higher institutions across the country. These lecturers have been appointed to administer the nationwide VirtualTest for different categories and 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 statement read. “The live VirtualTest on the Mobile Classroom app allows participants to join from their respective locations at the scheduled time, with those who fail to join at the given start time losing the chance to access the VirtualTest.”
To be eligible for the N4 million in student support funds, prospective winners must subscribe and learn the specified video materials for the test from the guest lecturers’ classes on the Mobile Classroom app.
“To drive knowledge through a student support system, it is a requirement for prospective winners to subscribe and learn the specified video materials for the test from the guest lecturers’ classes on the Mobile Classroom app,” the statement added.
The VirtualTest initiative is expected to have a significant impact on Nigerian tertiary students, providing them with the opportunity to earn financial support while also engaging in meaningful learning and skill-building activities.
As the country continues to prioritize education and youth empowerment, initiatives like the Mobile Classroom VirtualTest are crucial in addressing the challenges faced by students and fostering a culture of learning and innovation in the Nigerian education system.
