MTN Nigeria, one of Africa’s leading telecommunications companies, has announced the donation of 4,600 tablet devices to the Federal Government of Nigeria. These devices are pre-loaded with the innovative uLesson app, a digital learning platform designed to improve the quality of education for Nigerian students. These devices will be distributed to secondary schools in all six geopolitical zones of the country.
The initiative, managed by the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Investment in conjunction with the Office of the National Security Advisor, underscores the commitment of the Nigerian government to advancing education and digital literacy among its youth. The Vice President of Nigeria has confirmed that his office will work closely with the MTN team to establish beneficiary criteria and ensure a seamless distribution process.
At uLesson, we believe that every child deserves access to quality education, regardless of their geographical location or socio-economic status.
“This collaboration with the Federal Government and MTN is a significant step towards realising that vision. By providing students with these digital tools, we are empowering the next generation with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive in the 21st century”. said AyoOluwa Nihinlola, CEO, uLesson Education (K12)
The uLesson app, developed by uLesson Education Limited, offers a comprehensive curriculum tailored to the Nigerian educational system. It includes video lessons, quizzes, and interactive exercises in subjects such as STEM, business, and arts and humanities. The pre-loaded content on the tablets is designed to align with the national curriculum, ensuring that students can effectively supplement their classroom learning.
