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

You are easily impressed by mediocrity because you have never enjoyed good governance.
She's not in the top 20 sef.

Go and see the tech hub Abiru built for his constituency in Lagos.

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.

How is a tab computers?

What is the spec and who counted them as 700

Nigerian politicians and scam are 5 &6

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

"Ruins" in my context mean,
can it be properly used ?

Wallade:
What do you mean by that statement that Android Tablets are not computers?

i know you want to get into an argument on semantics about how anrdoid tablets are really computers

i see this all the time where schools provide very low end android tablets to students as educational aids

a friend wanted me to help unlock one. it was an exercise in aggravation

chinesium device that can only work with windows 7, ROM no where to be found onlne, and unstable os that will bot retain settings

you provide a child with a computer because you want the child to

1) become computer literate
2) have exposure to productivity apps
3) learn to code

the best you are going to get from those tablets is mildly curated media consumption

in spite of all the best efforts you are not going to get much done on an android tablet with regards to productivity

the best you can get is some learning apps - which will not be available as that device is very likely locked to a chinese app store

These children should not use to watch porn like seun o. Nice one Natasha!

SoftSport:
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.

That's all you care about
Defending politicians for peanuts
Show us how many students Akpabio has empowered since becoming SP

If politicians scuffles will leads to such gesture, may peace be far from their camp

GloriousGbola:
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.

Oga, don't let an evil mind blind your reasoning. Even if it ends up being a touch-light phone, it costs her something, and it would have a positive impact if used well by the students. Many people started their IT career in software or web development from those Symbian phones

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

Am not a fam of hers, but honestly this woman has a long record of good deeds

Let your light so shine before men that they may praise your father in Heaven.
The best way to punish evil and doers of evil is good works.

Some fools will have something negative to say about her….low life people that have a useless background

Are you pained?
Tell your Akpabio to do same, let us see.

Nigerians like bamboozles. Politicians will never stop anytime

richeeyo:

This is a worthy and remarkable contribution to the educational advancement of her constituent.


Natasha's only visible problem is her inability to comport herself in a manner commensurate with her status.


If only she could work on her flippant tongue and unruly behaviour, she could become a role model for others.


Alas, she's as stubborn as a mule.

VinnyBaba:
Nice one from Senator Natasha.

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

A Woman wrapper Senate president.

As much as I dislike Akpabio, I hate this type of women more. Serial blackmailers that can’t get anything on merit.
