After an extensive strategic review, Nigeria’s top students’ infotainment portal and online community, Yada.ng is pleased to announce its relaunching as ‘Student Pulse’ on Pulse.ng.

In a bid to meet the rising demands of students and youth nationwide, the relaunching follows a period of expansion for the platform being integrated into one of Nigeria’s biggest entertainment and lifestyle online platforms, Pulse.ng.

The new Student Pulse portal will do even better to provide Nigerian students and youths with latest information and hottest campus gist cutting across all higher institutions in Nigeria; and a wealth of helpful tools to make campus life easier. The new name (Student Pulse) and branding better aligns with Yada.ng’s strategy and highlights its powerful connections to all higher institutions of learning and Nigerian youth as a whole.
“This move became pertinent for us to increase our scope and forge an indomitable brand. The growing student community is an essential facet of entertainment in Nigeria, and annexing them from Yada.ng is a no-brainer. With mainstream Nigeria, and the student population engaged in Pulse.ng, everyone gets involved, creating an entertainment hub for Nigerians, by Nigerians” Anietie ‘Kabash” Ekanem, the Product Executive, Pulse.ng revealed.

On Saturday, 31st of August 2013, yada.ng would be shut down and relaunched as “Student Pulse” under pulse.ng. We believe that you would keep supporting us on this new and bigger platform; and that together we can keep going higher as we promise to deliver the better content quality to satisfy you. Student Pulse will go live on Pulse.ng on 1st of September, 2013. Stay tuned to Student Pulse for everything Yada.ng once offered and even more.
