In a significant move to bolster graduate employability, Stransact has launched the Honours Roll, a talent recognition scheme aimed at top students in Nigerian universities. This initiative, announced on June 10, 2026, offers N100,000 awards and career opportunities, targeting the gap between academic achievement and job readiness in a challenging economic landscape.
The Honours Roll is designed to identify and support high-achieving graduates, providing them with a pathway to career advancement and skill development. Stransact's commitment reflects broader concerns about youth unemployment and the need for innovative solutions to engage the educated workforce. “We believe in nurturing talent and fostering connections between academia and industry,” said Chinedu Adebayo, Stransact’s Head of Talent Development.
This initiative not only rewards academic excellence but also aligns with national efforts to improve employment rates among graduates. By creating direct links between students and potential employers, Stransact is setting a precedent that could inspire other organizations to adopt similar programs. As the scheme unfolds, it will be crucial to monitor its impact on graduate success and the broader economy.
