Revival Academy International School (RAIS), Dutse
Apo Abuja was chosen to be the third school and the first Nursery
& Primary School to receive the computer classroom donation under this
project, as a way for the State of Israel to support the Education sector of
the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It is important to us that young children in
schools have early access to technology as this enables accelerated learning
and deepens their understanding of difficult concepts. This donation is in
memory of Sarah Aaronsohn, an Israeli National Hero, who gave her life in order
to save many more.Speaking at the commissioning event, Charge d'Affaires of the embassy of the State of Israel, Mr. Yotam Kreiman said "It is my great honor to represent the State of
Israel in the Federal Republic of Nigeria for the benefit and prosperity of
both countries. I am proud to note with satisfaction, the ties that exist
between our countries today in the areas of Culture, Arts, Agriculture,
Security, Innovation and Education. The last two areas are the reason we are
here today."
In the current world of Information Technology,
Education is both a necessity and an investment, as today’s children are the
future leaders of this nation. The State of Israel has faith in the importance
of Education and in its future in Nigeria.
This
project would not have been possible without the wonderful cooperation and
partnership of: the Africa Division of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
Skill-G Nigeria Ltd. and Innov8 hub.
