Construction giant Julius Berger Nigeria PLC has donated a robotics laboratory to Government Secondary School, GSS, Gwarinpa, Life Camp in the Federal Capital Territory.
The new laboratory, stocked with robotics kits, computers, and hands-on learning materials, is designed to give students the opportunity to explore practical tech concepts and build essential problem-solving skills.
Project Coordinator for Region Central and North at Julius Berger, Engr. Dr. Amodu Ismaila said that with the laboratory, the school environment has become more comfortable and conducive for learning.
According to him, Gwarinpa Secondary School has long been a neighbour to the company’s camp, and over the years, the school has continued to educate the staff’s children as well as other students in the area.
Dr. Ismaila said the company, as a good corporate citizen, has had to be contracted to execute many projects in the area, adding that through these various projects, Julius Berger remains both a good neighbour and a committed partner to the communities it serves.
Ismaila stressed that ICT forms the backbone of modern development, enabling a wide range of possibilities, from digital learning to emerging technologies like artificial intelligence.
He added that once ICT facilities are in place, all that is required is continuous upgrading of smart classrooms and steady progress from there.
The school principal, Abubakar Ajayi, expressed his gratitude to the company for its continuous and sustained contribution to the growth of the school.
He said, “When I took over the school, I saw the set of furniture that Julius Berger donated, very beautiful and durable. We hope that this partnership will continue.”
Members of Julius Berger’s delegation to the event also spent time interacting with the students, talking about the importance of learning basic technology skills and encouraging them to make good use of the new laboratory amidst a clear sense of excitement as students explored the equipment.
