Stransact Chartered Accountants, a member firm of RSM International, has launched the Stransact Honours Roll, a programme aimed at recognising outstanding final-year students in selected Nigerian universities.

The firm stated in a statement on Tuesday that the initiative will annually honour five graduating students from each of 20 universities identified through the Times Higher Education World University Rankings.

According to the firm, the beneficiaries will be selected from the disciplines of Sciences, Mathematics, Engineering and Technology, Business and Accounting, and Law and Humanities.

Each recipient will receive a cash award of N100,000, recognition as a Stransact Honours Roll recipient, and an invitation to join the Stransact Talent Vault, a programme designed to provide practical skills development and professional exposure for graduates.

Speaking at the launch, the Managing Partner of Stransact Chartered Accountants, Eben Joels, said the initiative was intended to recognise academic excellence and connect high-performing students with career opportunities.

“As a firm committed to developing future-ready talent, we are delighted to introduce the Stransact Honours Roll. This merit-based initiative celebrates exceptional final-year students in top-ranked Nigerian universities and connects them to meaningful opportunities,” he said.

Joels also commended the participating institutions. “Inclusion in this programme is a testament to the dedication of these universities to academic excellence, research impact, and global relevance. We celebrate their leadership, faculty, and students,” he said.

He described the Stransact Talent Vault as a key component of the firm’s talent development strategy. “STV is the cornerstone of our approach to building a pipeline of ethical, innovative, and execution-focused professionals,” Joels added.
