FORMER Commissioner for Lands, Surveys and Urban Development in Delta State, Nigeria, Barr Raymos Guanah has commended the Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinibu and the management of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) for the successful launch and commencement of the distribution of the U Lesson educational tablets and software to the students of the Niger Delta region.
Guanah spoke in Abuja, the nation’s capital, at the aftermath of the launching and distribution of the educational aids at the State House remarked that the occasion was a demonstration of the continued desire of the NDDC to partner with key partners.
He said that by partnering with the First Lady’s Renewed Hope Initiative, “the management of the NDDC has demonstrated its desire to latch on the extensive reach of the Renewed Hope Initiative across the Niger Delta region.
“In distributing these learning aids to the students of Primary and Secondary schools in the region, the NDDC has taken a strategic step towards tackling from the roots, the basic needs of our education”, adding that “the early exposure of students to computer will bring to fruition the desire of the First Lady for our children to be part of the global learning community”.
Barr. Guanah extolled the commitment of the Chairman of the NDDC Board of Governors, Barr Chiedu Ebie, who said that the management and Board have a robust working relationship.
He further stated that he was glad that the Board has placed emphasis on monitoring and evaluation.
While congratulating the Managing Director, Dr Samuel Ogbuku for this feat, Guanah noted that since he assumed office, it has been from one stride to another.
Echoing the admonition of the First Lady, Barr Raymos Guanah called upon the students to take their studies seriously by making the best use of the educational materials and tablets.
It will be recalled that not too long ago, NDDC launched the U lesson educational tablets and software – a learning tool that the students can study with, can learn from home in addition to the normal classroom teachings.
