Globacom’s Head of Enterprise Business, Mr. Zakari Usman, made this statement on Thursday during a meeting with the leadership of Oyo State’s private tertiary institutions.
Oyo state Commissioner for Education, Prof. Waheed Adelabu, presided over the meeting. His ministry had organised a similar gathering with officials of the state’s government-owned higher education institutions in August.
Globacom’s Enterprise Business Head for the West Region, Mr. Adeniyi Odejobi, expressed the preparedness of Globacom to collaborate with educational institutions in areas like smart learning, e-governance, security surveillance, data vending, sponsored data, connected services, and closed user group serialised numbers.
“These solutions will enhance administrative effectiveness, service delivery, and ease of internet connectivity, among other areas of possible collaboration”, he said.
He disclosed that in addition to other offerings, the company’s educational solutions were essential to ensuring that the Internet of Things was made available to schools to instill user-friendly interface, personalised learning paths, interactive content, thorough reporting, and analytics.
The Commissioner, in his opening remarks, commended Globacom for continuously supporting the ministry of education and its goals for the state’s schools. He expressed the hope that the ministry’s efforts to establish best practices in education throughout the state will be supported by Glo’s digital services
