echoed praises of the organizers and sponsors as the event was a hitch-free one.

Technology added ‘I and my colleagues are excited because the event was
completely successful, it’s timely because of the season and an absolutely free
show with all of these to take home; Acada

publishing, distributing and circulating their free bi-weekly magazine across Nigeria campuses in the last four years,
it’s a serious plus to us as students’.
