Chief of Staff to the President, Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila, has launched the second phase of his Back-to-School Jump Start Project over the weekend by distributing e-learning equipment such as laptops, Android tablets, stationery, and bags, among other items.
The National Lottery Trust Fund (NLTF) worked with the project, which was facilitated by the former Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Before leaving the House to become President Bola Tinubu’s Chief of Staff, the former speaker oversaw the project as one of the active constituency projects.
At the flag-off of the second phase, the former speaker said the project was targeted at improving the digital infrastructure in 46 Junior and Senior Secondary Schools in Surulere Federal Constituency with over 1,400 students benefitting.
Represented by Fuad Laguda, the aspirant tipped to succeed the former speaker, Gbajabiamila said the impact of the programme had been visible as the beneficiary schools had been able to put to good use the equipment doled out to them to increase digital literacy among the children and their teachers.
Minister of Special Duty and Inter-governmental Affairs, Hon. Zephania Jisalo represented by the Executive Secretary, NLTF, Dr. Bello Maigari said the funding of the second phase was due to the successes recorded in the first phase, which has greatly improved the standard of learning and provided a conducive learning environment for public schools across Surulere Federal Constituency.
