Blessing Dickson, a 400-level student of the Department of Public Administration at Mewar International University (MIU), Masaka, Nasarawa State, has come into the spotlight after an outstanding display of confidence and loyalty to her institution earned her a total cash reward of ₦120,000.

The moment unfolded on Wednesday, February 4, 2026, during the second day of the university’s ongoing 4th edition of Cultural Week. While students from diverse ethnic backgrounds—including Shuwa Arab, Gbayi, Hausa, Fulani, Igala, Kanuri, Yoruba, and South-South tribes—were participating in activities on campus, the university management announced a challenge for students who could correctly sing the MIU anthem.

Blessing Dickson stepped forward and delivered the anthem flawlessly, a performance that immediately drew admiration from students and officials present at the event. In line with the management’s earlier pledge, she was awarded ₦20,000 for meeting the challenge.

However, her impressive composure and accuracy further caught the attention of the Pro-Chancellor (Administration) and Proprietor of Mewar International University Nigeria, Engr. Abubakar Sani Bello, who expressed delight at her performance. Moved by the display, he instantly gifted her an additional ₦100,000, transferred on the spot, bringing her total reward to ₦120,000.

“I am really proud. Thank you very much, sir,” she said.

Her achievement has since become a talking point among students on campus, symbolising confidence, preparedness, and the encouragement of excellence within the MIU community.
