Gbajabiamila Distributes E-Learning Tablets To Students

The Leader of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, on Friday distributed no fewer than 501 computer tablets to secondary school students in his Surulere constituency.

In his speech at the occasion, Gbajabiamila said the gesture was a redemption of his electoral promise to impact on the lives of the people of the area.

He said that the idea to facilitate the tablets was conceived to improve the quality of education in schools through the use of ICT.

He said that ICT-based education was indispensable to the development of Nigeria in the 21st century, stressing that students needed to be properly equipped with the right tools to propel development.

“We are in the 21st century when the most important thing that drives development is technology.
“Nigeria cannot afford to be left out, that is why we are doing our little by distributing these tablets to our students today,” he said.

The House Leader explained that the selection of the students was made without political affiliation, adding that the management of the benefiting schools recommended the beneficiaries based on merit.

He said the tablet contained 117 books for Junior and Senior students and covered all the subjects in the curriculum.
The lawmaker added that the tool also contained tests and assessments that could help students in their learning.

According to Gbajabiamila, other features of the computer include processing applications for Word, Excel, PowerPoint and long lasting battery life of 6,000amh.
He said he had no doubt that the e-learning tool would help to improve the level of education in the state.
“I am fully confident that the Gbaja Tab will complement the “Educate Lagos “and “Eko Project” of the state government.
“I have facilitated this learning project and will need parents and teachers to monitor its usage by their wards.
“More importantly, parents need to know that Gbaja Tab is transferable to other children in the family as it contains textbook for all school classes, “he said.

Gbajabiamila said the 501 computers were as the first in the series; he promised to provide more to other students in subsequent phases.

A member of the House of Representatives, Mr Rotimi Agunsoye, commended Gbajabiamila for the tablets, saying they would assist the beneficiaries in their studies.
He said he was impressed by “this real empowerment” and promised to replicate the idea in his Kosofe Federal constituency.

A member of Lagos state House of Assembly, Mr Desmond Elliot, described the tablets as “a different form of empowerment,’ and would impact on the life of the beneficiaries.
“I, therefore, urge you students, to put the tools into good use for the benefit of your education and future, “he said.

The Sole Administrator, Surulere Local Government, Mr Sherrif Balogun, said his constituents were proud of Gbajabiamila’s impactful’ representation in the lower legislative chamber.

A beneficiary, Akeem Sanni, thanked the lawmaker for the gesture and prayed God to continue to strengthen him to assist more students in the area.

GbajaTab. . . SMH. Very poor branding.
Politicians promoting themselves since 0000APC

And a whole governor of a state is somewhere playing with talking drum.
Kudos to Femi Gbajabiamila.

if u dont knw about it its better u shut up as a matter of fact its nt a private owned school the grl in d second pics is a student of my sec.school community high school tafawa balewa crescent

I hope the beneficial students make proper use of the tablet. Not like here in Osun state where the tablets given to students are used to watch porn and do other sorts immoral activities.

Waste of funds..
That's the problem in most developing countries, we spend on irrelevant or less relevant things and leave priorities.
Will they be able to afford data to fully utilise the tablets, probably not.

Why not sponsor their higher education, the tuition of several state and federal universities is close to the price of these tablets.
Or add a social amenity or infrastructure. I'm a strong fan of generalities rather than individual gifts.
There's most likely some lacking amenities in the school, renovate that and impact more.

My 2 cents sha.
All these distribution of tablets here, wheel barrow there, school feeding will have no long run effect.
