The Huawei has donated a mobile digital classroom to the Katsina State Government in a move aimed at strengthening ICT education and expanding access to digital learning.
Receiving the facility, Governor Dikko Umar Radda described the intervention as a significant step toward bridging the digital divide, particularly in rural communities. He commended Huawei for its partnership with the state, noting that it directly addresses the persistent shortage of ICT infrastructure in schools.
The mobile classroom, built داخل a fully equipped container, is fitted with laptop computers, interactive digital boards, internet connectivity, and an independent power system capable of supplying up to eight hours of electricity. The setup is designed to function in areas with limited or unstable power supply, making it suitable for underserved communities.
Governor Radda stated that the initiative would enhance ICT literacy, promote digital learning, and improve access to internet services for students, with particular emphasis on inclusion of female learners in rural areas. He added that the state government would ensure the effective deployment of the facility to strengthen students’ digital competencies and address structural gaps in ICT education.
The governor further disclosed that Katsina is the second state in Nigeria to benefit from the initiative, attributing the development to sustained engagements between the state government and Huawei.
Earlier, the Director-General of the Katsina State Directorate of ICT, Malam Naufal, said the mobile classroom would support students preparing for computer-based examinations and significantly improve digital learning outcomes across the state.
