Abuja-based business mogul and philanthropist, High Chief Dr. Christopher Ndubuisi KSJI, has donated sets of laptop computers to selected schools in Anambra State.
The laptop computers were presented to over 50 senior prefects of some selected Secondary schools in the State.
Speaking during the presentation at Pinnatech hotel and Suites in Awka, High Chief Christopher Ndubuisi emphasized the importance of equipping students with these Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools to enable them acquire these skills at an early stage.
He said, “Technology is the way of the world now. I don’t think there is any field where anyone wants to be successful without technology. Whether in medicine, law, engineering, or communications, there is a need to be tech-savvy in order to achieve success.”
He further explained that the aim of this initiative is to “catch them young” at this level, and equally pointed out that as the senior prefects, they are the leaders in their respective schools. Chief Ndubuisi maintained that once these students leaders embraced the vision, ” it will be easier to pass it down to other students”.
Chief Ndubuisi also mentioned that other schools not included in the pilot project will be captured in subsequent exercises.
Recall that earlier this year, Chief Ndubuisi facilitated an ICT training program for selected Anambra youth in Awka and presented over 80 laptops to them.
The event, which was anchored by Reverend Father Benjamin Odika, was attended by the Special Adviser to the Governor of Anambra State on Innovation and Business Incubation, Ms. Chinwe Okoli, the Permanent Secretary of the Anambra State Ministry of Education, Mrs. Ifeoma Agbaizu, the Chairman of the Post Primary School Service Commission, Prof. Nkechi Ikediugwu, as well as the principals and teachers of the selected secondary schools.
