Mobile Screens and Sound Limited (MSS), an event technology and production company, in partnership with KolaDaisi University, has graduated more than over 60 students from the inaugural MSS Event Tech Academy.
The graduation marks a step in the company’s efforts to develop skilled professionals for Nigeria’s growing events and entertainment industry.
The graduates completed a 10-week intensive training programme in one of six specialised areas: LED Screen Engineering; Sound Engineering; Camera Craft and Video Production; Light Design and Control; Event Management and Production; and Rigging and Trussing.
Speaking at the ceremony, Managing Director of MSS, Mr Tunbosun Kola-Daisi, urged the graduates to see the milestone as the beginning of their continued professional development.
“Graduation should not be seen as the end of learning, but as the beginning of a lifelong journey of growth. “The event technology industry continues to evolve, and as technology advances, so must our knowledge, creativity and capacity to adapt.

“I encourage every one of our graduates to remain curious, keep learning and continue to sharpen their craft. We are proud of what you have achieved, but we are even more excited about what you will go on to become,” he said.
The ceremony, held at Darlington Hall, Lagos, also showcased the technical and practical skills acquired by the students during the programme.
The graduates handled the technical and production aspects of the event, including event management, LED screen operations, sound, lighting and camera operations, providing them with practical experience in a live production environment.
In recognition of outstanding performance, the five best graduating students will be offered employment opportunities with MSS, providing them with a pathway into the event technology industry.
Vice Chancellor of KolaDaisi University, Professor Olajumoke Morenikeji, emphasised the importance of initiatives that connect education with the realities of the workplace.
She said: “At KolaDaisi University, we believe strongly that the university must remain connected to the realities of the world beyond the classroom.
“Education must prepare our students not just to seek employment, but also to create value, solve problems and create opportunities for themselves. This is why initiatives like the MSS Event Tech Academy are important.”
The inaugural graduation comes as MSS prepares to mark its 20th anniversary in October, following two decades of involvement in Nigeria’s event technology and production industry.
Over the years, the company has developed expertise across the technical and creative disciplines required to deliver major events and live experiences, while contributing to the growth and professionalisation of the sector.
The academy extends this industry experience to skills development by providing a structured platform through which MSS can share its knowledge and help develop the skilled workforce needed for the industry’s future.
At the ceremony, Kola-Daisi, Morenikeji and the President and Director of Advancement and Alumni Relations at KolaDaisi University, Olasunmbo Obaseki, jointly presented certificates to the graduates in recognition of their successful completion of the programme.
For MSS, the graduation represents both the completion of its first academy programme and the beginning of a long-term investment in the professionals expected to shape the future of Nigeria’s event technology industry.
MSS is an event technology company with 20 years of experience in Nigeria’s event technology sector. Through its technical expertise, innovative solutions and commitment to professional development, the company says it contributes to the growth of the events industry while equipping emerging professionals with the skills required to thrive in the sector.
