This is a key initiative of his HEWA Agenda committed to equipping young minds with necessary digital skills to thrive in a technology-driven world.
Day one of the tech bootcamp witnessed a flurry of excitement as children flocked to the two designated centers: Kosybethel Primary School in Ajenifufa and St. Martin Primary School in Damegoro. The atmosphere was electric with young, eager minds ready to delve into the world of technology and innovation.
Jakande’s Chief of Staff, Mr. Taiwo Ogungbe, who was present on the first day to assess the programme, said: “We are here to ensure that our children are given the best possible start in the digital world. This initiative is a cornerstone of the HEWA Agenda, and we are committed to empowering our youth with the skills they need to succeed.”
According to the programme schedule, primary school students will engage in focused training sessions from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM, while secondary school students will have their sessions from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM from Monday to Friday.
