Among the most astounding highlights was the official unveiling of the Computerise Nigeria Initiative by Nigeria’s integrated ICT solution company and OEM Zinox Technologies, in partnership with KongaCares, at the Eko Convention Centre in Lagos.

The ambitious one-computer-per-child program aims to provide at least one million young Nigerians with laptops and supporting digital infrastructure. It represents one of the boldest corporate social responsibility efforts in Nigeria’s tech sector.

Designed as a holistic intervention, the initiative promises not just devices but also uninterrupted power solutions through iPower inverters, reliable satellite internet connectivity powered by Starlink, and ongoing training and after-sales support.

The launch event witnessed an impressive gathering of ICT sector luminaries, including Leo Stan Ekeh, Chairman of Zinox Group; Mrs. Kelechi Eze-Okonta, Managing Director of Zinox Technologies; Dave Omoregie, Chief Operating Officer of Konga Group; and Ajibade Laolu-Adewale, Executive Director at Wema Bank and current Executive Chairman at CeBIH.

The Nigeria Computer Society was prominently represented by its leadership team, including Dr. Muhammed Sirajo Aliyu (President), Dr. Charles Onyeukwu (Deputy President), Segun Adekunle (Executive Secretary), and Veronica Owolabi (Provost).

Mrs. Kelechi Eze-Okonta, managing director of Zinox Technologies, opened the program by welcoming distinguished guests and providing insights into Zinox’s extensive operations.

She emphasized that Zinox maintains a footprint across all 774 Local Government Areas in Nigeria, positioning the company uniquely to execute this nationwide initiative.

“If you don’t digitize the education system, you can’t digitize the economy,” she declared, highlighting Zinox’s reputation for venturing into uncharted territories to support Nigeria’s educational advancement.

In his address, Dr. Muhammed Sirajo Aliyu, president of the Nigeria Computer Society, commended Zinox Technologies for its consistent leadership and innovation, noting that the company has continued to provide affordable solutions that directly support digital education.

He praised the initiative as a landmark effort that could transform classrooms nationwide. Dr. Aliyu particularly thanked Leo Stan Ekeh for his unwavering support to NCS, education, and Nigeria’s broader digital transformation journey.

Ajibade Laolu-Adewale of Wema Bank praised Zinox Technologies for their sustained belief in Nigeria’s digital economy potential.

He shared insights about CeBIH’s activities while urging both government and private sector entities to increase investments in science and technology education, recognizing these sectors as fundamental drivers of economic advancement.

The event’s climax came with Leo Stan Ekeh’s financial support for digital education initiatives. The Zinox Group Chairman renewed his commitment to the Nigeria Computer Society by donating ₦10 million to support the organization’s activities.

Additionally, he presented a special ₦5 million donation to Mrs. Veronica Owolabi, NCS Provost, in recognition of her exceptional dedication and hard work toward promoting technology education across Nigeria.

Ekeh articulated his comprehensive vision of seeing every educational institution, from primary schools to universities, fully equipped with appropriate digital resources.

He emphasized the urgent need to create a digitally-oriented lifestyle among Nigerians, calling for robust support from government agencies, religious organizations, and other stakeholders in this transformative endeavour.

At the heart of the Computerise Nigeria Initiative is the vision of each child to a computer. With flexible, interest-free payment options available, the program is designed to break financial barriers and make access to technology inclusive.

This model is backed by quarterly donor reports, ensuring that contributors, whether government agencies, alumni associations, NGOs, or well-meaning Nigerians, see how their support is transforming classrooms and communities.

The initiative addresses a critical gap in Nigeria’s educational infrastructure, where many institutions struggle to provide students with adequate exposure to modern computing technologies.

By democratizing access to premium digital resources, the program aims to level the playing field and ensure that geographical location or economic circumstances do not determine a student’s digital future.

This transformative initiative will be officially unveiled on Thursday, September 4, at the prestigious GITEX Nigeria event, marking a pivotal moment in the country’s digital evolution.

The scope of this initiative reflects Zinox’s unwavering commitment to national development, with an ambitious target of providing computers to at least one million Nigerians.

Understanding that technology alone cannot thrive without supporting infrastructure, the comprehensive package includes iPower customized inverter solutions to address Nigeria’s persistent power challenges, alongside satellite internet connectivity powered by Starlink.

This holistic approach ensures that beneficiaries receive not just devices, but complete digital ecosystems capable of functioning optimally in Nigeria’s unique operational environment.

This initiative presents an unprecedented opportunity for stakeholders across Nigeria’s development spectrum to contribute meaningfully to economic growth.

Zinox Technologies extends an open invitation to government at all levels, politicians, alumni associations, NGOs, and well-meaning Nigerians to support schools and students nationwide through this transformative initiative.

The program represents a unique opportunity for stakeholders to contribute meaningfully to Nigeria’s digital future while ensuring measurable impact.

The strategic timing of this launch coincides with global recognition of digital literacy as fundamental to economic growth.

By targeting higher institutions, the initiative addresses the critical need to prepare graduates for an increasingly digital global marketplace.

Students equipped with modern computing skills and reliable internet connectivity will emerge better positioned to contribute to Nigeria’s knowledge economy and compete internationally.

Understanding that the cost of technology can be prohibitive for many institutions, the Computerize Nigeria Flexipay initiative offers remarkably flexible payment terms.

This payment structure removes traditional financial barriers while ensuring sustainability and accessibility for educational stakeholders across different economic levels.

The interest-free arrangement demonstrates Zinox’s commitment to social impact over profit maximization.

This model is backed by quarterly donor reports, ensuring that contributors, whether government agencies, alumni associations, NGOs, or well-meaning Nigerians, see how their support is transforming classrooms and communities.
