EStars, a trailblazer in the esports sector, has joined forces with Ecobank Nigeria, a subsidiary of the Ecobank Group, to advance Esports education and equip students across Nigeria with vital life skills.
The partnership marks a significant step in Ecobank’s ongoing dedication to empowering African youth through education and technology.
EStars will integrate its innovative Esports Club and educational qualifications into Nigeria’s schools, building on successful implementations in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
“Esports is more than just gaming; it’s a gateway to acquiring essential life skills needed in today’s digital world,” Mags Byrne, CEO of EStars, said.
“With Ecobank’s extensive reach and focus on youth development, we aim to provide every Nigerian student with the opportunity to gain these skills through our esports curriculum. This partnership aligns perfectly with our vision of using esports as a transformative educational tool for Africa’s youth.”
Omoboye Odu, Head of SMEs, Partnerships and Collaborations at Ecobank Nigeria, praised the initiative as a great fit with the bank’s corporate social responsibility goals.
“At Ecobank, we are committed to paving pathways for Africa’s youth to succeed in today’s digital world. Esports offers a unique and engaging approach to education. “Through our collaboration with EStars, we are enhancing the accessibility and relevance of education for the next generation of African leaders. By equipping students with the skills they need for the future, we are contributing to Africa’s long-term economic and social development.”
The partnership will introduce the Esports Club, a comprehensive educational initiative that will be rolled out in schools throughout Nigeria.
The online platform offers educational games designed to develop crucial soft skills such as critical thinking, teamwork, and leadership.
Developed by EStars’ team of industry experts and educators, the platform will leverage Ecobank’s extensive network to reach even the most remote areas of Nigeria and eventually other parts of Africa.
