After two weeks of planning for steemit reach out uyo, We couldn't execute our plans because of the strike embarked by the the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) in August 2017. ![IMG-20171016-WA0026.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmd3tQdsxMZGAqWu6iMqZw7RhePrYv5ij9piWv3zkioKSi/IMG-20171016-WA0026.jpg)

**The strike is over now and school has resumed in our target university ([University of Uyo](https://www.google.com.ng/search?q=university+of+uyo&oq=university+of+uyo&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l3&client=ms-android-transsion&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8)) which has over 10,000 students**.

We already know there is currently no school in Nigeria as a whole that offers any form of **BLOCKCHAIN EDUCATION** . **this Meet-up/ Reachout will strategically position the students in South south nigeria, starting from University of uyo to prepare for the future which the Nigerian University hasn't prepared them for.** ## Our Target Reach We initially thought we could just register 4000 students from university of uyo before January and 100,000 students from South south nigeria before January 2018. But we noticed that telling people about steemit and not properly teaching them the **core values** of steemit will only get them registered but they might not stay. So That target has been changed from 4000 to 500 **active users** from university of uyo and from 100,000 to 10,000 **active users** from South south before January 2018. It will be easier to train smaller amount of people and then train those small amount of people to train others. Each day about 10 people will be mentored by @ogochukwu in a special mentorship program organized under @bluewaves headed by @ogochukwu (mentor). This program has already started mentoring some people. ![Screenshot_20171016-195851.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVyGWZbz56RVZeGhgBQDu59HV61uNeMdQbi9pvJmqWGNd/Screenshot_20171016-195851.png) ![Screenshot_20171016-200147.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVusJbyiAX5SRvj3pAZqV5jZjYtv9HqWSFPHWGAkdu4b2/Screenshot_20171016-200147.png) ![Screenshot_20171016-200155.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTiFXQTPyZzcWPmcmQ44Mm5V9hXQF838E7Rky86DXM78v/Screenshot_20171016-200155.png) **Contact me via steemit chat to join the mentorship program.** ## @stach in Uyo ![IMG_20171016_205135_012.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYsx39KZq1Di1T6zqiv3sxK8ywbZ9BoazoZ9Qi6qxdpXZ/IMG_20171016_205135_012.JPG) >The Steem Accelerator Hub, (STACH) is an accelerator planned with Nigerians in mind as a particular target and newbies in general. Like any thriving hub, STACH is concerned with offering first the one thing that is lacking in the Nigerian and African Steemit space-- an Education, and then Collaboration. @Stach has been spreading steemit around the city of Port Harcourt in Rivers state and has created a huge offline steem center. Steemit Uyo Community is ready to welcome @stach to uyo soon. The first meeting with @ejemai (main chief behind stach) will hold anytime soon. ## Our Team The following steemians have been working tirelessly to ensure this goal is achieved. @evelyniroh @samuelwaelth @samstickkz @ishotz @discreetsaint @xpressng @mritsnobigdeal @xpressng and @ifioklee @darkerhorse @emem @enoye @fortune-inyang @vwovwe ## SUPPORT AND Partners We currently have support from @ogochukwu @bluewaves @stach @tojukaka @ajulu @ewuoso @amec @lemmybe @discreetsaint @xpressng @misterakpan @ogowinner ## Mentor @ogochukwu @ogowinner ## Date and time for the Meet-up / Reachout Steemit Uyo meet up / Reachout will hold on the 11th of November 2018 ## Preparation Currently we've put some monies together to 1. print 4000 fliers 2.
