Each of the 100 participating schools received a router with unlimited data, enabling them to access the Nigeria Learning Passport (NLP), a powerful e-learning platform. The Permanent Secretary, Osun State Ministry of Education, Mr. M. Jimoh, urged school administrators to ensure that pupils benefit maximally from the training. “200 teachers and heads of primary and secondary schools in the state are participating in this training. After the exercise, the participating schools numbering 100 will get internet facility and unlimited data. Ensure that the gadgets are used to benefit your pupils and impact knowledge,” Jimoh said.

The Director of Sustainability, IHS Nigeria Limited, Tolulope Oyenuga, said the initiative reflects the company’s commitment to creating meaningful social impact. “Through this program, and in partnership with UNICEF as the program partner, we are not only connecting schools to reliable digital infrastructure, but also enabling access to the Nigeria Learning Passport (NLP)—a powerful e-learning platform that equips both teachers and students with quality resources for continuous learning,” she said. “In today’s world, digital literacy is not a luxury, it is a necessity. By providing access to these tools, we are helping students acquire skills that will empower them to participate actively in tomorrow’s economy,” Oyenuga added.
