The NNPCL and FIRST Exploration & Petroleum Development Company Joint Venture, in collaboration with the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB), has successfully trained 180 teachers from six oil-producing states in the Niger Delta to use K-YAN all-in-one digital teaching and learning devices.
The Joint Venture held the training at the NCDMB Complex in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, and distributed 200 K-YAN devices, along with solar power solutions, to participating schools.
This initiative builds on the success of the first phase, where the Joint Venture distributed 100 K-YAN devices to secondary schools in 2023. The program aims to strengthen teaching capacity and improve learning outcomes through technology-driven solutions, advancing education in the Joint Venture’s host communities.
