Quick tip: Please download the taxify app it would make your trips cheaper rather than using random cabs. Also the Mtn Data service at the airport is poor. So make provision for using another network to order a cab. Glo provides WiFi at the airport the cheapest data they can offer is N200 about 500MB. Taxify charged me N1250 which considering the distance I don't think I could get better. There is this hotel called Emota Paradise Hotel at Olufemi Samson Street, Ilesamaja, the Standard rooms are N5000 and it isn't far from the venue, though I don't think it's a trekking distance. There is Vintage Suites too on Ojuelegba Suruelere 15 Akinhanmi street the Standard rooms go for N7500. The bus park at Jibowu is also around these area so is First Academy.
Good luck to all writing today myself included.

So long as you got the first mail that said you shouldn't panic, your AC invite will surely come.

Hey future colleague. I arrived Lagos this morning from PH via Ezenwata. Right now, I'm in Rex hotel, 43 Comer Street, Orile. The distance to First Academy is five minutes or less on bike. A room without A/C ranges from 3000 to 5000. A room with A/C ranges from 4000 to ... depending on the size.

You are far too kind, thanks a lot. But please pardon my being a little bit confused here, is "Ezenwata" a park in Lagos or a transport company? And please give me a description of your route from the park you dropped at Lagos to how you arrived at Rex hotel at Orile, that would help a lot. I would be coming from Uyo. Thanks a lot.

Ezenwata is a transport company in Lagos that has his park (just like many others) in Maza Maza. DIRECTION: Board a bus at Maza Maza bus stop to Orile. It's hundred (#100) Naira. Stop at Orile bus stop and ask any bike man to take you to Rex Hotel at 43 Coker Street. This may cost additional #100 or #50 depending on the person. Remember: you can go to First Academy first in order to be certain that you are not misled. Orile bus stop to First is #100. I hope this will help you.

From what Asiri posted, seems rex hotel is cheaper and near, it's advisable to use that.
Statistics as given by head of talent.
120,000 applied
20,000 shortlisted
2500 made the cut.
Congratulations for coming thus far.

if a whole 2500 made the cut, how many are they hiring? It's well.

If 2500 made the cut which represents 12.5% of the shortlisted candidates then I presume they would pick 10-12% of the 2500 to be hired, which is about 250-300 candidates, let's just pray and do our best to be part of those who would make the final cut.

Well I honestly don't know. Head of HR said something along the line of just do your best don't worry about that which I think is true
