A group under the auspices of We2geda has launched an online challenge tagged “#IndependenceDayChallenge” to commemorate Nigeria’s 61st Independence.

 

 

In a statement signed on Wednesday, the group said; “the online challenge tagged, ‘My Nigeria Independence Day Challenge’, will present Nigerians with the opportunity to win a cash prize of Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira (N250,000.00) for the Grand Winner, while ten other runners-up would win Fifty Thousand Naira (N50,000) each”.

On the rationale behind the #IndependenceDayChallenge, Mr. Ibrahim Abdulkarim, the Convener of the Initiative explained that “there are quite a few dismal representations of Nigeria online, and their aim is to reflect a little bit of the positive side of being Nigerian while provoking Nigerian to believe in their dreams”.
