Senator Natasha Donates 700 Computers to Historic Okene School, Pledges More Support

In a bold push for digital inclusion in public education, Senator Natasha H Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, on Monday distributed 700 computers to students of Abdul Azeez Attah Memorial College, Okene (AAAMCO), one of the oldest secondary schools in Northern Nigeria.

The initiative, described as a major stride toward digital transformation in Kogi Central schools, is part of Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan’s broader education modernization plan aimed at equipping students with 21st-century skills.

Addressing staff, students, and community leaders at the official handover ceremony, the senator emphasized the critical need to align education with today’s technological realities.

“To educate a mind is to enlighten a mind, and a collection of enlightened minds builds a strong society and a thriving economy,” she said. “Now that we live in the age of artificial intelligence and robotics, it would be an injustice to our children not to provide them with up-to-date learning technology.”

Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan noted that the 700 computers will significantly elevate the standard of education in the region, adding that similar interventions will soon be extended to other schools. “Access to digital learning devices should be a necessity for all students in public schools, as it is in Rwanda and Ghana,” she added.

The Ohi of Okene, HRH Alhaji Okatahi Mamman, praised the senator’s foresight and urged the students to use the devices responsibly. “This is a forward-thinking investment in our future,” the royal father said.

Principal of AAAMCO, Mr. Paul Amoh, commended the senator for transforming the school into a model of academic excellence. He recalled earlier interventions which included the construction of a one-kilometer road within the school, renovation of classroom blocks, and installation of solar streetlights.

“She is not just giving us devices, she is giving us a future,” the principal said. “We are now on a path to becoming a fully smart school.”

Also speaking, the National Secretary of the AAAMCO Old Boys Forum, Engr. Yusuf Momohjimoh, applauded the initiative, noting that the transformation of the school has rekindled pride among its alumni. He pledged the Forum’s commitment to safeguarding the devices and ensuring their proper use.

“This gesture will undoubtedly enhance the educational development of our students. It’s not just about computers, it’s about community rebuilding and future readiness,” he said.

Founded in the 1920s, Abdul Azeez Attah Memorial College is a historic institution that has produced many of Nigeria’s finest minds, including former Military President, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, among several others.

Great supportive move in the education sector of her Senatorial district here. Natasha second term is sealed.

This woman is indeed trying for her constituents.....I wonder what Akpabio the honourable nyash tapper has done for his constituents since he got into the Senate apart from listening to the beautiful sounds of women's waist

Omo see free tablets for students. 700 isn't a small number.
God bless you Senator Natasha. Even my Governor can never do it

Nice one from Senator Natasha.

Akpabio just disgracing Men, with this meaningless Fight with her.

A Woman wrapper Senate president.

This is a great move for education no doubt, but donating computers doesn't erase the need for Natasha to still account for her unruly actions at the national assembly.

Every time NASS gives her knocks, she goes to donate and carry out photo ops.

There is no other way to tell Akpabi he is what senator Natasha sees him to be

Ride on mama

Applaudable. A great step in the right direction.
Investment in digital education is never a waste of resources.
Kudos to Senator Natasha

The tablets would impact positively in their learning, when properly utilized.

Senator Lietasha is trying to louder her battered image


Lietasha should provide evidence of sexual harassment and stop drama all over the place

She may be a drama queen but she is the best senator by far

And she never did all this before her suspension. I'm glad she is using a fraction of her loot to do one or two.
Politicians and eye service.

These are NOT computers

these are android tablets

it is also likely they are a variant of the cheap chineseim android tablet running kitkat [from 2013]

extremely limited in use and locked

it would be far better if she deployed an ICT center.

very little is going to come out of giving poor children tablets.

The woman is really spending. Kudos to her and more grace

The only time when una dey remember the poor and will only do good na when una dey for trouble. Your eye service or pretence dey good.

Don't you have a sense of shame?

For the peanuts they are paying you, you can sell your soul and try to justify the worst government this country has seen. It is a pity that people like you exist

It just hurts that after all this gibberish we don't know how much is for "loot" and the "rest" in ruins

Nice one from beautiful Natasha.

This screams of advance vote buying.

Shameless woman that has blocked road for women in NASS. Because of this glutton women in NAS should no more hope for good committee or prefential treatment.
