Three Colleges will benefit from a computer and Internet project agreement signed on 30 September between the Federal Government and Microsoft.

The schools are Federal Government Girls College, Owerri, Federal Government Girls College Bakori and Federal Government Academy, Suleija.

The project is being executed under the auspices of the e-learning scheme of the New Partnership for African Development (NEPAD).

Education Minister, Mrs Grace Obaji, who signed for Nigeria described it as ‘revolutionary’.

She also restated government’s intention to cooperate with Microsoft in the implementation of NEPAD’s e-schools laboratory project and challenged the company to prevent youths from gaining access to corrupting sites.

Microsoft’s Vice President for Africa, Mr Ali Faramawy said the deal was an indication of his company’s determination to partner with the Nigerian government to promote Information technology under NEPAD.
