In response to the prevailing economic difficulties faced by many Nigerians, uLesson has announced a significant reduction in its software subscription prices. The popular digital learning platform revealed the move in a blog post today, emphasising the company’s commitment to ensuring quality learning remains accessible during challenging economic times.
The 50% reduction in subscription prices aims to alleviate financial burdens for users, particularly parents and learners, allowing them to continue expanding their knowledge without concerns about excessive costs.
Sim Shagaya, in a tweet on his X profile, expressed his dedication to supporting Nigerian households experiencing intense hardships due to economic policies.
Despite the pricing adjustment, uLesson shared some updates, stating that live lessons for grades 1–11 will no longer be available. However, SS 3 (Grade 12) students can still access them for exam preparations. Homework Help is also transitioning out, but uLesson is introducing an AI-powered alternative, Ask by uLesson, for 24/7 instant help with challenging homework.
uLesson acknowledged the challenges associated with change but expressed optimism and a commitment to delivering the best learning experience. The company sees these adjustments as a step forward into a future marked by innovation and evolution.
