The newly facilitated Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Centre, equipped with 150 laptops, is designed to advance digital knowledge and skills among students across Ikorodu Division.
Handed over to the Ikorodu Division Resource Development Group (IDRDG), the facility is expected to serve as a key hub for youth empowerment, aligning with global trends in digital education and innovation.

To guarantee quality and timely delivery, two contractors have been engaged for the construction.
Rep. Benson expressed profound gratitude to the people of Ikorodu for their support, stating that “the reward of hard work is more,” and pledging continued delivery of dividends of democracy to his constituents.
