ESCHOOLS AFRICA TO PARTNER WITH ENUGU STATE FOR THE ENUGU SMART SCHOOLS PROJECT.

 


As the Count down to the full takeoff of the Enugu Smart Schools Project gets close, An International Edutech company, E Schools Africa with operations in several African Countries, like Nigeria , Tanzania, Ghana, Uganda, Kenya, Malawi and others has concluded Plans to key into the Vision of his Excellency Dr Peter Mbah's Pet Project the Smart Schools project in all 260 Wards of Enugu State.


In an Exclusive Interview with Mediagang the CEO of eSchools Africa Mr Mukundan Paravasthu who was accompanied by the COO of eSchools Africa Mr Michael Uyeh, and a local liaison officer, Engr Austin Ani met with the  Governor at the Lion Building late Friday evening, noted that eSchools Africa is working towards supporting the Smart Schools Infrastructure with firm plans to set up manufacturing plants for the production of laptops, interactive smart boards, tablet pcs and a host of other technology products to support the initiative of his Excellency Dr Peter Mbah to take Education to the next level in Enugu State. 


Mr Paravasthu further said the company plans to set up initially two plants that will be for assembling devices and packaging of the items. In the next two years the company expects that two more plants will be added for the production of batteries, mobile accessories and spares with all locally produced here in Enugu which he hopes will be the epicenter of their operations in Nigeria even though they are presently in Abuja and in Plateau State working with forty Schools at the moment.


The initial investment expected to be made for the initial two plants to come online,  is about Seventeen Million US dollars ($17,000,000.) that will eventually increase to Forty Million US Dollars (40,000,000) over a period of 3 years, as a Private Public Partnership with Enugu State Government contributing its own quota for the project takeoff in terms of land and other infrastructure for the manufacturing plants. 


Some of the expected benefits of the manufacturing facility is supporting the Government in producing the items locally instead of importing at high costs, using local resources, employment generation and improving the economy of the state.


In partnership with the Government they will be establishing a Special Purpose Vehicle for the project as they intend to make Enugu the technology hub for Nigeria. In the very near future he stated they expect to export to other African Countries as well, but for now the company is starting off in the next few months with the focus to be able to deliver the first lot in the first quarter of 2025 for the Enugu smart schools he concluded.

DR JOHN NWOKEABIA LAUDS LABOUR PARTY FAITHFUL IN ENUGU STATE.

  The Leader of Labour Party in Enugu West Dr John Okechukwu Nwokebia has Commended the Labour Party faithful over their Conduct in yesterday's Local government Council Election in Enugu State. Gentlemen of the Labor Party, what the PDP and Enugu State Government did in making sure that the ENSIEC LGA elections were not free and fair did not come as a surprise to us.  They made it known through their agents that they were going to write the results of the elections even before the votes were cast. That was why there were no results sheets delivered in any pooling boot in Enugu State.  This was possible because PDP was the judge and the jury in the conduct of their elections. As a result, the will of the people was suppressed, resulting in another setback for Nigeria democracy.  I encourage our labor party members not to be dismayed because the PDP are cowards. It's only a coward who would incidously execute such mayhem against the right of the people with the cover o...

And the hitherto traditional ruler of the community, Chief McAnthony Okonkwo who was dethroned by an Anambra High Court few years ago may be arrested in consequence. Okonkwo had petitioned the Inspector General of Police, Force Headquarters against the President General of Alor, Chief  Emma Ojukwu, alleging amongst other things, that the PG has not been respecting or according him due regard as the traditional ruler of Alor. That the PG has not been extending invitations to him for attendance of key meetings/events in the community in his capacity as its traditional ruler. Consequently, a team of twelve heavily armed policemen invaded the Lagos residence of Chief Ojukwu. The sight of this army of armed police officers sent shock waves and intense fears int...
