The national grid has collapsed for the 6th or 7th time this year.
The dollar to naira exchange rate is now over 630 naira!!😮
ASUU strike is still ongoing. Â
So many things to discuss, but we are choosing to be happy and be in good mood.😊
Hello 🤗, how are you doing?
To the new members of the PAADC family, welcome onboard.😉
Today's newsletter is going to be brief, so let's get started!Â
Application Update
The application window closed on July 15th and we are excited about the quality of applications we got. We received a record-breaking 116 submissions from different tertiary institutions across the country! A big thank you to everyone that took part in the competition and we hope to see the best of the best at the grand finale.
Speaking of applications, over the next couple of weeks, those who applied would be getting emails notifying them if they qualify for the next stage. Stick to our social media pages to get updates on your applications.
PAADC Merch: What's popping?
Before I come for those that haven't purchased merch, I would like to use this opportunity to appreciate and thank those who have gotten a few things from our store. The team appreciates you and is looking forward to seeing you rock our merch!
For those who have filled your cart but are yet to make payments, we see you and hope you complete that order soon.
Now, onto those who are yet to even check the store. What is stopping you? Why haven't you made an effort to purchase something? Is it delivery fees? Worry no more, because we have affordable delivery options for you. Delivery to UNILAG is FREE, and delivery within Lagos costs 900 Naira only. For those outside Lagos, we also have affordable delivery rates for you.Â
What’s more, you can get 500 Naira off T-shirt purchases when you use the discount code INNOVATE. (p.s this is only available for the first 200 shirts. The discount code does not apply to the 'Disrupt the Norm' shirt.)
Now that you have no reason to not purchase our merch, head over to our store and get something.🤗
All Work and No Play…
If you follow us closely on social media, you would have observed that we haven't made a post since we announced the closing of the application window. This is because the planning team is on a break!
Having worked hard to ensure we had a seamless application phase, we are taking a few days to cool off and restrategize for the remaining part of the competition.
Once our break is over, you can expect to get updates on applications, build up to the grand finale, more interactive Nexus sessions and so much more. We have several interesting things planned and cannot wait to share them with you in August!Â
That would be all for this week. Like I said, this was a brief update. The next time you hear from us, we would all be back at work and prepared to give you a memorable grand finale!Â
If you haven't subscribed, why don't you do so right now?
