Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has launched a large-scale distribution of digital learning tablets and textbooks to public secondary school students across the state, expanding access to technology-driven education.
The initiative, part of the state government’s broader education reform strategy, is designed to integrate digital tools with traditional learning, ensuring students benefit from both innovation and foundational literacy.
Officials say the programme aligns with ongoing efforts to strengthen human capital development and prepare students for a modern, knowledge-based economy. It also complements national education priorities focused on improving learning outcomes.
Speaking on the development, Governor Sanwo-Olu emphasized that the initiative is aimed at creating equal opportunities for students to succeed academically, regardless of background, by improving access to quality learning resources.
The Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, Jamiu Alli-Balogun, noted that the project has evolved from a temporary solution introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic into a structured, statewide education reform programme.
The newly distributed devices are equipped with internet-enabled features and educational platforms that provide curriculum-based lessons, interactive videos, practice tests, and life skills materials. These are complemented by simplified core textbooks to reinforce classroom teaching.
According to the government, the initiative has already shown measurable impact, with public school students recording improved performance in national examinations. Authorities expect further gains as the programme reaches more learners across the state.
With over 600,000 students targeted, the rollout is one of the largest digital education interventions in Nigeria, aimed at promoting inclusive and technology-driven learning in public schools.
