Some one million young Nigerians are to benefit from the Computerise Nigeria Initiative, which is being championed by Zinox Technologies, in partnership with KongaCares.
 
The partnership was sealed at the weekend in Lagos at the just-concluded GITEX Nigeria 2025. The one-computer-per-child programme is to provide at least one million young Nigerians with laptops and support digital infrastructure, representing one of the boldest corporate social responsibility efforts in the country’s tech sector.
   
Designed as a holistic intervention, the initiative promises not just devices, but also uninterrupted power solutions through iPower inverters, reliable satellite Internet connectivity powered by Starlink, and ongoing training and after-sales support.
 
The launch witnessed an impressive gathering of ICT sector luminaries, including Chairman of Zinox Group, Leo Stan Ekeh; Managing Director of Zinox Technologies, Mrs. Kelechi Eze-Okonta; Chief Operating Officer of Konga Group, Dave Omoregie; Executive Director at Wema Bank and current Executive Chairman at CeBIH, Ajibade Laolu-Adewale.

Zinox explained in a statement yesterday that Eze-Okonta, while welcoming guests, emphasised that the company maintains a footprint across all the 774 council areas in the country to execute the nationwide initiative.
   
“If you don’t digitise the education system, you can’t digitise the economy,” she stated. In his address, President of the Nigeria Computer Society, Dr Muhammed Sirajo Aliyu, commended Zinox Technologies for its consistent leadership and innovation, noting that the company has continued to provide affordable solutions that directly support digital education.
   
While praising the initiative as a landmark effort that could transform classrooms nationwide, Aliyu particularly thanked Ekeh for his unwavering support to NCS, education, and Nigeria’s broader digital transformation journey.
 
Ajibade Laolu-Adewale of Wema Bank praised Zinox Technologies for its sustained belief in the country’s digital economy potential. He shared insights about CeBIH’s activities while urging both government and private sector entities to increase investments in science and technology education, recognising these sectors as fundamental drivers of economic advancement.
   
The event’s climax came with Ekeh’s financial support for digital education initiatives. The Zinox Group Chairman renewed his commitment to the NCS by donating N10 million to support the organisation’s activities.
   
Ekeh articulated his comprehensive vision of seeing every educational institution, from primary schools to universities, fully equipped with appropriate digital resources. 
 
He emphasised the need to create a digitally-oriented lifestyle among Nigerians, calling for robust support from government agencies, religious organisations, and other stakeholders in this transformative endeavour.
   
He explained that at the heart of the Computerise Nigeria Initiative is the vision of each child to a computer. With flexible, interest-free payment options, the programme is to break financial barriers and make access to technology inclusive. 

The model is backed by quarterly donor reports, ensuring that contributors, whether government agencies, alumni associations, NGOs, or well-meaning Nigerians, see how their support is transforming classrooms and communities.
