Nigeria’s U-19 Cricketers Get Free uLessonApp Offers

Leading EdTech outfit, uLessonhas offered free subscription to the teenage members of the Nigerian Under-19 Cricket team throughout their preparation and campaign for the International Cricket Council’s Under-19 World Cup African Qualifying Series.

uLesson’sVice President, Distribution and Marketing, Tayo Sowole, said the gesture was to help the players cover the gaps that their commitment on the cricket pitch would have denied them in the classroom.

“A couple of them are missing classes to be able to help qualify the country for the Cricket World Cup, and the uLessonApp offers a robust curriculum that help them to catch up on the misses off the pitch”

The Nigerian Under-19 team picked the sole ticket from the African Qualifying series in 2019 for the 2020 World Cup and they have a pedigree to live up to that challenge again when the Qualifiers for the 2022 Under-19 World Cup gets underway from September 27 to October 7, 2021, in Kigali, Rwanda.

General Manager of the Nigeria Cricket Federation, Emeka Igwilo, said the players have been in camp in Abuja for a while and would be proceeding to a two-weeks tour of Zimbabwe before heading to Rwanda for the Qualifiers and the uLesson Subscription has come in handy for most of them who have been looking to carry their academics along with their cricket game.

Sowole again stressed that the uLesson is designed to help students who are committed to making a success of their academic endeavor. It covers the Nigerian curriculum in every detail, while the subjects are treated with simplicity.
