The landmark program, unveiled at GITEX Nigeria 2025 in Lagos, stands as one of the most ambitious corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts in the country’s technology sector.
Beyond Devices: A Complete Digital Ecosystem
Unlike traditional device distribution programs, the Computerize Nigeria Initiative delivers a full ecosystem. Beneficiaries will receive:
- Personal computers for students
- Satellite-powered internet connectivity
- iPower customized inverters to overcome Nigeria’s electricity challenges
This holistic approach ensures students have the tools, connectivity, and power needed for uninterrupted learning.
Industry Leaders Endorse the Vision
The launch attracted prominent ICT leaders, including:
- Leo Stan Ekeh, Chairman of Zinox Group
- Kelechi Eze-Okonta, Managing Director of Zinox Technologies
- Dave Omoregie, COO of Konga Group
- Ajibade Laolu-Adewale, Executive Director at Wema Bank and Chairman at CeBIH
Eze-Okonta reaffirmed Zinox’s nationwide reach, stating:
“If you don’t digitise the education system, you can’t digitise the economy.”
Meanwhile, Dr. Muhammed Sirajo Aliyu, President of the Nigeria Computer Society (NCS), hailed the initiative as a “landmark effort” capable of transforming classrooms across Nigeria.
Philanthropy and Commitment to Education
Highlighting Zinox’s commitment to digital education, Leo Stan Ekeh pledged ₦10 million to support NCS activities. He emphasized that the initiative’s goal is to ensure every Nigerian child owns a computer, made possible with flexible, interest-free payment options to break financial barriers.
To guarantee accountability, the program includes quarterly donor reports, giving transparency to stakeholders including government agencies, NGOs, and alumni associations.
Building Skills for Nigeria’s Digital Economy
Beyond classrooms, the initiative is set to stimulate Nigeria’s digital economy by preparing a new generation of young Nigerians with:
- Digital literacy
- Entrepreneurial capacity
- Skills for global competitiveness
By empowering students with reliable tools, connectivity, and power solutions, the Computerize Nigeria Initiative positions Nigeria for a more inclusive and digitally driven future.
