The First City Monument Bank (FCMB) has partnered EStars to bring esports education to Nigerian schools, even as it plans to introduce Nigerians aged 7 to 14 across primary and secondary schools to essential skills for thriving in a digital world early in life.

EStars launched its educational esports platform in Nigeria on July 16. The platform provides a fun and structured way for students to learn teamwork, communication, and problem-solving through gaming as these skills are essential for success in today’s world but are often not a focus in traditional classrooms.

The EStars platform, it said, is safe and helps students to immerse themselves in skill-building activities while includes tournament management tools, team collaboration functionalities, and resources for integrating esports into school curricula. It also offers coaching and training materials to help students develop their esports skills and explore potential career pathways in the growing esports industry.

Many schools embrace esports as a formal extracurricular activity or incorporate it into their curriculum. Esports can help students learn about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Some schools use games like Minecraft to teach students how to code.

Managing director of FCMB, Mrs. Yemisi Edun, commented on the partnership, said: “EStars has brought a fun and innovative way to advance students’ knowledge and life skills. This platform allows schools to harness the power of play to cultivate a love for learning.”

This initiative aligns with FCMB’s commitment to fostering education and youth development in Nigeria. Mrs. Edun added, “At FCMB, we believe in equipping the next generation with the skills they need to thrive in the age of AI and automation. We are not just preparing them for the future but empowering them to shape it.”

EStars’ founder, Mags Byrne, echoed this sentiment: “Our mission is to empower young minds with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive in the esports industry and beyond.”

The partnership aims to bridge the gap between traditional education and the burgeoning esports industry, providing students with valuable skills and potential career pathways. As Jonny Baxter, British Deputy High Commissioner, noted during the platform’s official launch event in July, “Esports is now fully professional and is expected to contribute significantly to the UK economy. We are happy to support EStars in partnering with Nigerian schools.”
