Ecobank Nigeria, a key member of the leading pan-African banking group Ecobank Group, has partnered with Opolo Global to deliver training and empowerment to schools in Lagos as part of its annual Ecobank Day activities.
This flagship social initiative, spearheaded by the Ecobank Foundation, encourages employees to give back to their communities.
The 2024 event, themed “Ignite Learning with AI,” focused on foundational learning and harnessing Artificial Intelligence to improve children’s literacy, numeracy, and digital skills, particularly at Zion Star School in Lagos.
Oluwafemi Ajayi, Head of Product Development and Lagos Operations at Opolo Global, praised Ecobank for its initiative to educate students about artificial intelligence and robotics, which are vital for the future. He highlighted that this training equips children to navigate the digital age and underscores the transformative potential of AI in education, business efficiency, and decision-making.
“We will expand this initiative to several schools across the state, especially those located far from the city center and serving a higher number of underprivileged students,” he stated.
For Ecobank, “equipping Nigerian children with essential literacy, numeracy, and digital skills at an early age is crucial for their future. It enables them to excel academically, prepares them for a rapidly changing digital landscape, and broadens their opportunities in life and employment.”
“Ecobank Day activities involved our employees volunteering in various communities across Nigeria, offering literacy lessons, mentoring, and collaborating with schools to enhance digital resources. We extend our gratitude to our partner, Opolo Global, for helping make this day impactful for Nigerian children,” they added.
These training and mentoring initiatives align with the second year of the bank’s three-year campaign, ‘Transforming Africa Through Education,’ and support the African Union’s declaration of 2024 as the Year of Education, themed ‘Educate and Skill Africa for the 21st Century,’ emphasizing the need to integrate technology into foundational education.
Since its launch in 2013, the bank has initiated crucial interventions and supported various social causes, including education for youth in Africa, malaria prevention, improving ICT in schools, and promoting financial literacy, among others.
