Mouka has rolled out the 6th edition of the Mouka Award for Excellence, in a bid to promote academic excellence by advancing the role of quality sleep and urging participation of schools to improve quality sleep for students performances.
With over six decades experience in providing sleep solutions, Mouka said, it remains committed to supporting education and wellness through innovation and impactful CSR initiatives such as these.
This initiative, birthed in 2020 under Mouka’s fifth CSR pillar, ‘Skills for Life,’ seeks to recognise the best graduating students across Nigerian universities, while advocating the importance of quality sleep in achieving academic distinction.
Past recipients of the Mouka Award for Excellence include reputable institutions such as Nile University of Nigeria (Abuja), Covenant University (Ogun), Achievers University (Owo), and Elizade University (Ondo).
Speaking on the initiative, Chief Commercial officer of Mouka, Dimeji Osingunwa noted that academic success is closely linked to sleep quality. Scientific studies have shown that students who enjoy consistent quality sleep perform significantly better academically, he said.
‘At Mouka, we are not only rewarding excellence but also leading the conversation around sleep as a catalyst for better learning outcomes,’ he said.
The Mouka Award for Excellence provides cash grants to the best graduating students in each faculty of universities, helping them take the next step in their academic or professional journey. In secondary schools, the grant is awarded to the overall best graduating student.
In line with this, Mouka is calling on proprietors and administrators of secondary and tertiary institutions to enrol their schools in the programme.
