July 2022 was a transformative month for students across Nigeria, as we proudly sponsored a 3-Day Free No-Code Tech Bootcamp, addressing the disruptions caused by the ongoing #ASUUStrike. This initiative aimed to equip students with essential digital skills in:

  • Digital Marketing
  • No-Code Web Development (WordPress Training)
  • Smartphone Graphic Design

We extended our training to students from over ten universities, including the University of Ilorin, University of Lagos, University of Jos, University of Ibadan, Ekiti State University, Federal University of Technology Akure, University of Uyo, University of Nigeria, and Kogi State University.

Bootcamp Highlights:

  • Web Development: Students learned to set up no-code websites for their businesses using WordPress.
  • Digital Marketing: Training covered adding businesses to Google Business, creating Google Ads, keyword optimization, and social media optimization.
  • Smartphone Graphic Design: Participants mastered the Canva mobile app to create eye-catching designs and videos for personal and business branding.

In addition to the comprehensive tech training, we mobilized grocery stipends for students who met verification requirements, helping to alleviate the stress of feeding during the strike.
