Speaking at the event, Senior Brand Manager, Flavours, Coca-Cola Nigeria Limited, Toyin Nnodi, expressed delight at the impressive turnout of students, , and noted that this was driven by the Sprite brand’s ability to truly connect with Nigerian teens.

Nnodi said, “The last few weeks have been a truly interesting experience as we’ve travelled round the country to different Nigerian campuses. We’ve been to five Universities thus far and the Sprite Triple Slam train is now here  in Port Harcourt to give campus students the opportunity to enjoy the same unique experience and connect with brand Sprite. Beside the high level of engagement and excitement we’ve seen here today, I’m impressed by the great show of skill, dexterity and talent Port Harcourt students have shown here today.

Commending Sprite for bringing the activation to their campus, the students remarked that the memories from the Sprite Triple Slam event will linger for a very long time as it was the most creative show they have had in a long time.

“Dance is one way I express myself”, remarked 23-year-old Gbarane Baggha Mercy, who had the audience applauding her costume and dance performance as she stepped on stage for her performance.. “I appreciate Sprite for giving me yet another opportunity to do what I love doing best.”

The event also saw good displays of skills and showmanship in the Basketball and Music categories.

As with the other locations, the event reached its climax with an electrifying performance from the guest artiste of the day, Vector the Viper, who was joined on stage by student Daniel Darius, the hottest rapper on campus who won over the crowd during the Rap category performances. . The duo’s performance was remarkable. Daniel rapped to Vector’s well known lyrics and did a freestyle rap performance, in response to key words given him by the “King Kong” star. They both got the audience cheering excitedly as they sang along, danced and clicked away on their phones, filming and taking pictures.

With the successful completion of the Sprite Triple Slam activations in the University of Benin (UNIBEN), University of Calabar (UNICAL), University of Ibadan (UI), Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUST), Imo State University (IMSU), and now the Rivers State University of Science and Technology (RSUST), the Sprite Triple Slam train is now set for its final stop this year at  the University of Lagos (UNILAG).
