Banigo Advocates Digital Learning
The Rivers State Deputy Governor, Dr. Ipalibo Harry Banigo, says digital learning tools were very important for the 21st Century children.
Banigo stated this during the “Start-up Kids” event in the Start-up Port Harcourt Week at the Port Harcourt Pleasure Park, last Saturday.
According to the deputy governor, children of today were the ones that would lead this nation and the world in future.
“Look at all the beautiful ideas you have been able to create within a short time, you have been able to produce solutions, apps, entrepreneurial activities, and educational apps to make learning easier and fun”, she stressed.
Banigo said along with the excellence in the traditional educational pursuits, it was important that the young ones also blend in creativity, mentoring skills and imagination, stressing that it would help to move the state and nation forward.
The deputy governor, who congratulated the children from various schools in the state for their brilliant performance, assured them that the Governor Nyesom Wike-led administration’s commitment to provide quality education for all children in the state was not negotiable.
“His Excellency, Chief Nyesom Wike is very proud of you, we want to see you become great leaders in the future, may God bless and protect you to fulfil the golden destinies which God has ordained for you”, Banigo further stressed.
Also speaking, the Convener of the Start-up Port Harcourt Week, Bereni Fiberesima, said the event was organised to fulfil the need to grow young entrepreneurs in Port Harcourt because of the belief that the future belongs to the young people.
