Managing Director of Vodacom Business Nigeria, Guy Clarke who made
the remark while handling over internet access equipment to the
management of Federal Science and Technical College, Yaba, Lagos on
Thursday, said that access to the internet is very vital for a science
and technology college.
According to him, it is for that reason that Vodacom proudly donated the facility to the school to provide internet connectivity to the pupils of the school, which has produced some of the country’s best students in the science and technical fields at secondary school level.
He said that Vodacom has made available to the school WiFi services for students and teachers in classrooms, laboratories, workshops and staff offices to help improve the results of the school, even further. Clarke disclosed that in addition to the internet facility, Vodacom has also provided a 220KVA powered generator to help keep the school connected during power outages.
He said, “Internet penetration in Nigeria is still low, especially in public schools. With the Power to You Project, we aim to bridge the digital divide that exists in communities and schools without access to ICT.”
He explained that the facility was provided for the school through the Vodacom Power to You Project, which supports public and private schools in the country by ensuring that students and teachers have access to ICT and new telecommunication technologies. He added that the power of the internet is invaluable and connectivity has the potential to transform education and accelerate economic growth in Nigeria.
While receiving the facility from Vodacom, Principal of the college, Chris Ugorji said, “The vision of the college is to provide the scientific and technical skills, required to produce selfreliant young men and women, ready for tertiary institution and the ICT industry.
