As part of a strategic partnership with Ecobank Nigeria, Opolo Global recently engaged in a transformative training initiative for schools in Lagos, reinforcing the organization’s commitment to nurturing digital literacy and advanced skills in young learners. Held in celebration of Ecobank Day under the theme “Ignite Learning with AI,” this year’s program highlighted the role of AI in enhancing literacy, numeracy, and digital competencies in foundational education. The flagship event took place at Zion Star School, Lagos, as part of the Ecobank Foundation’s annual social initiative encouraging employees to actively support their communities.
Oluwafemi Ajayi, Head of Product Development and Lagos Operations at Opolo Global, praised Ecobank’s dedication to preparing students with essential future-ready skills. “This training is transformative, preparing children for the digital age and demonstrating AI’s potential in education, business efficiency, and decision-making,” he said. Ajayi also highlighted Opolo Global’s plans to expand the program to other schools, including those in underserved regions, to ensure that AI literacy and digital skills reach students across Nigeria.
Opolo Global further emphasized the importance of equipping Nigerian students with literacy, numeracy, and digital skills from an early age, linking these efforts to both academic achievement and future career prospects. In addition to the training, Opolo Global provided mentorship, facilitated literacy lessons, and offered digital resources to support the educational growth of these young learners.
This collaboration reaffirms Opolo Global’s vision of transforming African education and empowering communities through strategic partnerships and innovative educational initiatives. By equipping students with essential digital skills and fostering a generation of tech-enabled thinkers, Opolo Global continues to drive sustainable impact in Nigeria’s educational landscape. Through initiatives like these, Opolo Global underscores its commitment to empowering young minds, creating opportunities for growth, and advancing digital literacy as an integral part of Nigeria’s journey toward a technology-driven future.
