In continuation of its youth engagement program in tertiary institutions across the country, Ecobank will this Friday storm University of Calabar, Cross-River State with Ecobank Xpress Account Concert.

According to Kalu various prizes ranging from laptops, tablets, and fridges, among others have been lined up for grabs by winners in the various competitions planned for the event. “This is one concert students and youths around the campus must not miss.
