Commenting on the project, Hon. Adepoju said that the project was facilitated to enhance skill acquisition, economic growth, entrepreneurship support, career development, research support and his ongoing initiative on digital inclusion. The lawmaker said the project is in furtherance of his empowerment programme on digital skills, which, according to him, commenced in August 2024.
He expressed his delight over the project, highlighting its impact and significance on both the old and the young, students, teachers and community members of Ibarapa Central and Ibarapa North Local Government Areas.
