Hello SchoolGisters!!! We have good news for you. Starting from Monday, 7th September 2020, we are launching our “Earn As You Post" (EAYP) programme to enable students get paid for any school news that is uploaded and gets approved on schoolgist.ng. Whatever news you have from your school, we are ready to pay you for it.
At SchoolGist, because we are committed to delivering on our promises, we are pleased to partner with students all over the country, who will form our team of reporters. Sounds cool right? The new Earn As You Post platform elevates you to the status of Student Reporter plus an opportunity to maximize your earning power.
