In line with Rotary International’s September focus on Basic Education and Literacy, the Rotary Club of Alakuko has donated two computer systems to the refurbished ICT laboratory of Ositelu Memorial College Ogere Remo Junior School. The initiative is aimed at equipping JSS 1–3 students with digital skills, a critical step for over 1,000 learners, many of whom had never worked on a computer before.
Thank you for visiting The Vestigator, don't forget to share!
The donation coincided with the 30th anniversary of the 1990–1995 alumni set, which recently renovated the school’s computer lab. Together, both efforts mark a transition from traditional literacy to 21st-century skills like coding, online navigation, and preparing for technologies such as artificial intelligence.
Speaking during the handover, Rotarian Oludare Oyegbola, President of the Rotary Club of Alakuko, said the project reflects the Club’s commitment to empowering young learners:
“These computers will help students master basic computing, prepare for CBT exams, and embrace global technological trends. Beyond this, we plan to establish an Interact Club for senior students and a Rotary Community Corps to manage resources and sustain collaboration with the alumni and school management.”
Leaders of the alumni association (OMCOOSA) welcomed the gesture. Babatunde Onilari, OMCOOSA President, described the donation as a vital step toward bridging digital gaps in education. Alhaji Hassan Fatugase, BOT Chairman, expressed gratitude and called for continued support, while Prof. Adesoga Adefulu, head of the Education Trust Fund, stressed the importance of maintaining the new facilities. In further support, Seun Odewusi, Chairman of the 1995 set, pledged an additional three computers to the lab to widen student access.
School leaders also applauded the development. Mrs. Adeyemi, Principal of the Junior School, called the donation a “game-changer” for students’ digital literacy, while Mr. Shoda, a teacher, said hands-on computing would transform the way lessons are delivered. Students themselves shared in the excitement—Pelumi, a JSS2 student, said:
“Computers make learning exciting and open doors to a tech-driven future.”
