Good evening from Nigeria. The website to apply for the Andrea Levy foundation with the university of Edinburgh has not and is still not accessible for the past 1 week and it just remain 4days to the application deadline(14th April,2023). Please let the authorities as a matter of urgency do the needful to address the menace before the deadline.If it doesn’t work that way,I am calling for extension of the deadline. Therefore, when the website crisis is resolved amicably, I should be notified via WhatsApp (+2347062311149) or E-mail ([email protected]) to enable me complete and submit my applications.
