The Federal Government has revived 16 abandoned digital e-library projects across Federal Unity Colleges and commissioned a state-of-the-art digital hub at the Federal Government College, Kano, as part of efforts to modernise public schools and expand access to technology-driven learning.
The Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, disclosed this on Monday while commissioning the upgraded digital e-library during an inspection of key Federal Government education projects in Kano State, according to a statement issued by his office.
Alausa, who was accompanied by the Minister of State for Education, Prof. Suwaiba Ahmad, said the rehabilitation of the abandoned facilities underscored the Tinubu administration’s commitment to repositioning public education through digital infrastructure.
“This upgraded digital e-library is another significant milestone in the Federal Government’s drive to prepare Nigerian students for a digital future. It provides our students with a world-class environment where they can acquire the digital literacy and critical thinking skills required to compete in today’s knowledge economy,” the minister said.
The newly commissioned digital hub at FGC Kano is equipped with solar power, air conditioning, modern lighting and nearly 80 computer workstations designed to enhance teaching, learning and research.
