Body Advocates New Knowledge Base For Nigeria
The computerise Nigeria Project (CNP) has intensified its push for a new knowledge base for Nigeria with the launch of a new scheme that would for the first time in history inject 1,500,000 laptops into the Nigerian Information Technology (IT) space.
The founder of the computerised Nigeria Project, Leo Stan Ekeh who disclosed this to newsmen in Lagos last Friday said the scheme sought to empower Nigerians to overcome most of the challenges against self actualization.
Describing the contemporary times as acknowledge century,’ Stan Ekeh opined that no man was born poor adding that with digital knowledge, everyone can control and arrive at his destiny particularly, economic wise.
While explaining that Zinox, hp, Toshiba, Dell and Acor were some of the reputable international brands that would participate in the project, Ekeh maintained that the project would break the barriers encountered in acquiring computers and place individuals in better economic self-esteem.
According to him “true to its public acclaim as the organisation that breaks barriers to create access to computer ownership, the CNP has made this offer as attractive as possible to Nigerians.”
“The biggest obstacle removed is the request for bank guarantees before participation in computer ownership schemes. There are no bank guarantees. Nigerians can pay in attractive cash prices or in flexible payment plan up to 18 months installments. The monthly stipend is barely over N4,000 monthly. There is a also a 12 months manufacture’s warranty to be enjoyed by all laptops bought”.
Also speaking, the Head, Computerise Nigeria Project, Lorretta Agbakoba added that the first 100,000 laptops bought would come standard with over 1,000,000 e-books and a Zinox digilamp free.
Agbakoba explained that the project was meant mainly for employees of the public and private sectors military and paramilitary establishments educational institutions, professionals, small and home offices.
She said “the Computerise Nigeria Project had provided the best opportunity for employers to computerise their operations and work force.
While noting that the 1,500,000 laptops did not mean much to a population of 140-150 million people, Agbakoba said however that it was a commendable starting point.
