FCT to Enhance Digital Learning in Public School
The Federal Capital Territory Administration has reaffirmed its commitment to enhancing digital learning in public schools across the territory.
This commitment was underscored during the official handover of 600 tablet computers to 12 secondary schools, donated by MTN Nigeria.
The FCT Minister of State, Dr. Mariya Mahmoud, praised MTN’s initiative as a timely investment in Nigerian students’ future. She emphasized that the donation aligns with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, prioritizing quality education and digital empowerment nationwide.
The administration aims to equip students with essential digital tools to thrive in a technology-driven world.
Dr. Danlami Hayyo, Mandate Secretary of the FCT Education Secretariat, commended MTN for bridging the digital divide, noting that this initiative will promote educational development and enable FCT schools to compete globally.
MTN’s Chairman, Dr. Ernest Ndukwe, stated that the company has procured 4,600 digital learning tablets for distribution to public secondary schools nationwide. This effort reflects MTN’s commitment to education, innovation, and providing opportunities for every child.
This development is part of the FCT Administration’s broader efforts to digitize education, following the approval of N990 million for procuring over 1,000 laptops for secondary schools.
The administration has also earmarked N1.7 billion for establishing a pilot Smart Secondary School in the FCT.
