Covenant University is to represent Nigeria at the global CFA Institute Research competition this year.

The university came first in Nigeria’s stage of the global CFA Institute Research competition in Lagos on Saturday to emerge as Nigeria’s representative at the competition coming up in Dublin, Ireland, on April 4 and April 5.

It beat University of Lagos and Obafemi Awolowo University, which emerged second and third place winners.

Eight universities in Nigeria took part in the competition.


The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the CFA competition in Nigeria was sponsored by Zenith International Bank in partnership with CFA Society in Nigeria.

The CFA Institute Research Challenge is the world most prestigious investment research competition among university students globally.

It is aimed at promoting best practices in equity research among the next generation of analysts.

The competition promotes ethics and best practices in investment research through hands-on mento-ring and presentation.

Speaking at the final stage of the competition, Chairman of Zenith Bank, Mr. Jim Ovia, said the bank had always anchored its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) towards empowerment, development, building skills, talent and capabilities among the youths.

He said the bank aligned with CFA Research Challenge’s overall objective of providing a platform for university students to put into practice their theoretical knowledge.


“It is a way of encouraging the professionals to inculcate the spirit of professionalism and ethics right from very early stage.”

The topic should be amended.

Covenant University wins CFA Research Challenge, to represent Nigeria at global competition.

It's highly commendable, heard good things from an attendee.

You guys mean a Glorified Secondary School beat the ordinary ones in the race to represent Nigeria?
This is strange. Where are those who like suggesting a third class in KWASU is a first class in Covenant and Babcock?

Covenant University leads, others follow. Save your banters. I didn't even school there.

No. It was just another 'dreaming' competition.

This is impressive! I saw the tweet by Zenith Bank yesterday - unfortunately LBS didn't make it to top 3. Well Covenant admits some of the best applicants of private universities from the likes of Ambassador's college, Loyola jesuit , Faith Academy, Presco and the likes. Same with Abuad, Babcock and even landmark.

During Pressid, Covenant won back to back three times in three years even with the UI,UNN and all the fed unis participating.

I once thought that Covenant just happened to have sound leadership and her apparent success is just a fluke. But the day I got to Landmark I concluded that Oyedepo issa boss. That man is sound!

If only majority of Nigerians will give credit to that which is superior!

It is not like that. The students did well but the overall best was taken. It is now the turn of CU to shine this time around.

At least public university students should swallow their pride and acknowledge for one that CU is really trying. The impact knowledge and managerial skills on their students that is why they can stand firm
