Call For Submission: MONUS2.0 | About #70,000 Up For Grab

Deadline: June 21st, 2019

The Memoirs Of Nigerian University Students (MONUS) anthology intends to capture and preserve memories, both new & old, from current students of Nigerian universities & alumni.
The Memoir of Nigerian University Students (MONUS) anthology is an initiative that intends to embalm the memories of students of Nigerian universities in the museum of arts. In its first edition, the memoir pulled over 300 submissions across universities in Nigeria and secured over 2000 downloads. This year, MONUS promises to be bigger, better and more insightful.
Their goal this year is to collect not just stories cutting across several experiences during undergraduate years, but also stories and representations showing the ailing state of Nigerian universities and how it affects the lives of students. This, we believe, is important in generally assessing the state of our educational system.
To this end, submissions are now open for the second edition of the MONUS anthology.
