The First Lady of Zamfara State, Hajiya Hurriya Lawal has praised the First Lady, Sen. Oluremi Tinuu for establishing digital learning centers in ten states of the federation.
She stated this when she hosted Mrs. Tinubu on Monday, who came to inaugurate the center in Gusau, adding that the centers would boost digital literacy and empower women through the Renewed Hope Initiative.
Mrs. Tinubu inaugurated the ten digital learning centers under the Renewed Hope Initiative in collaboration with the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA).
Other states which benefited from the digital learning centers include Abia, Delta, Edo, Kano, Lagos, Katsina, Nasarawa, Ondo and Yobe.
Haj. Lawal, who unveiled the Gusau Center, said the center would afford students, teachers and researchers the opportunity to gain access to the world through the internet.
She commended Mrs. Tinubu for choosing Zamfara as one of the benefitting states, saying “this project is not just about technology and computers, it is about empowering our youths, bridging the digital divides and opening new doors of knowledge and innovations to the good people of Zamfara and beyond.”
According to the Zamfara State First Lady, “education is the bedrock of development. In today’s digital world, access to modern learning tools is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. Through this library, students, teachers, researchers and the wider public would have access to the world’s information, resources and opportunities right at their fingertips.
“The Renewed Hope Initiative championed by our beloved mother, the mother of the nation, Senator Oluremi Tinibu is driven by a vision to support education, innovation and social development.”
Earlier, the Zamfara State Commissioner for Education, Malam Wadatau Madawaki, represented by the Permanent Secretary, said the project aligns with the desire of the state government of Governor Dauda Lawal to develop the educational sector and assured of making the judicious use of the facility to boost digital learning.
“This project resonates profoundly with the vision of Governor Lawal who upon assumption of office, declared a state of emergency on education,”
A highlight of the occasion was the donation of learning materials by the Zamfara State First Lady to students.
