The Biodun Coker Foundation (BCF) has donated a fully equipped Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Centre to Holy Trinity Primary School, Lagos Island, aimed at exposing pupils to digital skills early in life.
The initiative underscores the foundation’s commitment to improving educational opportunities for young learners in Isale-Eko.
Speaking at the inauguration, Biodun Coker, founder of BCF, said the intervention aligns with the foundation’s mission to strengthen youth education within Lagos Island.
He described Holy Trinity Primary School as an institution that has “stood tall in Isale-Eko, shaping generations, building character, and producing leaders.”
Coker noted that the Holy Trinity ICT Centre is the third such project by the foundation.
He revealed that BCF had earlier established and equipped the ICT Centre at Edward Blyden Memorial School, Olowogbowo, where over one thousand students have successfully graduated.
According to him, Holy Trinity was selected due to the professionalism and enthusiasm demonstrated by its staff.
Addressing the pupils, Coker emphasized that the centre belongs to them, urging them to see it as a gateway to future opportunities.
“Inside that room, you are not just learning computers; you are learning the language of the future. Dream bigger, think wider, and aim higher,” he said, while also commending the BCF team for delivering the project on schedule.
School authorities and stakeholders welcomed the donation.
The Headteacher, Mr Anthony Da-silver, recalled that pupils previously travelled to Aroloya for computer lessons.
Representatives from SUBEB and the Lagos Island Education Authority praised the initiative, with assurances that computer teachers would be deployed.
The event was attended by political leaders, community figures, and residents of Lagos Island.
