First Bank Plc has donated 20,000 digital devices to schools in Lagos State.
While receiving the devices in his office on Thursday June 11, 2020, the state’s Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, stated that the initiative was aimed at changing the face of education in the state.
“Our vision to reform public education got a boost today with the donation of 20,000 digital devices by First Bank Nigeria.
“The data enabled devices have preinstalled applications that allow users learn from approved curricula,” Sanwo-Olu said.
The governor noted that the government’s vision to improve the quality of teaching and learning in the state cannot be achieved without technology.
“When we set out our vision to change the face of education in Lagos, we knew from the onset that we could not achieve much progress in improving the quality of learning if we don’t use technology as a strong enabler,” he said.
While expressing delight at the donation, Sanwo-Olu stated that the intervention was timely.
“It feels great when organisations share in our vision and work with us to realise it. I’m glad to say that we have found a real development partner in First Bank,” he stated.
“Nobody foresaw COVID19 coming along and disrupting our ways of life. These devices will be useful to our pupils in the current circumstances we have found ourselves,” the governor added.
