EDUSA: UPDATE ON THE NATIONWIDE TOUR

Dated: 11th October, 2022.

Following a visibility assessment on the conduct of this year's Nation-Wide Tour, the 12th Executive Council-EDUSA, has unanimously agreed to replace this year's Nation Wide Tour with a maiden EDUSA WEEK. This resolution was informed mainly by the weak financial position of the Association.

Equally, the Executive was rightfully informed that embarking on a Nation-Wide Tour at this period may attract a punitive sanction against the association from the UTG Management as the activity falls in the mid-semester.

In light of these considerations, the Council has resolved to stage a maiden EDUSA WEEK, featuring a multiplicity of interesting, educative, and mouthwatering activities including the presentation of awards to deserving individuals, from October 31st to November 04th, 2022.

While the Executive Council submits its sincere apology to all those who have already paid their contributions to be part of this all-important activity, we fervently solicit your unfailing and ever-forthcoming cooperation in making the EDUSA Week a success...
