Re: [python-nigeria] Django Girls in Port Harcourt? (bayo opadeyi)
by Aisha Bello Aug. 5, 2017

Hello Bayo, Feel free to Unicast me. There is currently a DjangoGirls event scheduled to happen in Port Harcourt for October. We usually don't encourage having multiple workshops in the same city almost at the same time due to limited coaches availability. But if your friend intends to hold a workshop target at students in the university then this is possible. Your friend could reach out to me via aisha(a)djangogirls.org and we can continue the conversation Thanks, Aisha
