President-General, Unity Schools Old Students Association (USOSA), Michael Magaji, and Group Chief Executive Officer of Wowbii Interactive Technology, Gbolahan Ilayomi, have called for the adoption of technology at an early stage of learning to boost national development.

Magaji noted that the adoption of technology in institutions of learning would serve as a springboard for national growth and nation-building.

He spoke at the presentation of interactive boards by Wowbii to the association for distribution to unity schools, nationwide.

Magaji noted that USOSA was created to drive transformation and to give back to unity schools through the resources and time of our old students.

He listed the modes of giving as financial donations, infrastructure ranging from classrooms to hostels and digital labs across unity schools, with the aim of not only boosting learning but also nation-building.

“Don’t forget that unity schools were primarily created for nation building, post- independence, when Nigerians were brought together in their formative years, to live and learn together, to understand what it means to be citizens of a new country. So, what you are seeing today is a return on that investment made about 60 years ago, when the whole thing started, Magaji stated.

He stated that the learning tools would boost Unity Schools’ devotion to digital solutions, modern creativity, and innovative learning techniques, “especially for the modern students who are digital natives, and familiar with digital technology.”

He said: “USOSA is a beneficiary of 20 smart boards donated by Wowbii and would be installed in 20 unity schools across the geopolitical zones. We believe this would make lasting and transformative impact on the sector, particularly in our public education where this tool is greatly required.”

Earlier, the Founder and Group Chief Executive Officer, Wowbii, Gbolahan Ilayomi, said the donation of the interactive boards became imperative to strengthen the digital learning infrastructure across federal colleges in Nigeria.

According to him, supporting the association with modern interactive learning technology is a strategic contribution towards improving classroom delivery, enhancing students’ engagement, and aligning schools with global digital learning standards
