We had $970.7 remaining from our initial meetup in Abuja and we did the following:
Held an EA outreach in Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi State which saw 48 students in attendance with strong interest to take action by participating in the EA intro fellowship program, taking on high-impact careers and being a part of the city group that is in the process of being formed.

We had two other meetups in the cities of Lagos and Kano where both new and existing community members came together to have discussions and presentations around "Impactful Career Planning" aided with resources from 80,000 hours and the EA forum, the meetups also featured a networking session and Intro to Effective Altruism session, highlighting how attendees could take action to make an impact.

Feedback from these events have shown strong commitment from new and existing members to take action by applying for EA virtual programs, changing their minds on taking high impact careers, starting an EA group in their university (we are currently guiding 3 students on this), and aligning their projects with the Effective Altruism practice.
We spent a total of $1,041.1 for the meetups and would like to use the remaining $406.9 to hold a retreat for the EA Nigeria team at the in the fourth quarter of 2025, happy to refund the remaining amount if anyone thinks otherwise.
We have decided to close this project at this time. Please reach out to me if you have any questions or feedback at daniel@eanigeria.org. Thank you.
