18-year-old Christian Asogwa faced challenges using a computer for the first time during his Nigerian university entrance exams.
His state-run school lacked computers, and he struggled with basic tasks.
The Ngwo Yellowpages, a group from Ngwo living worldwide, noticed a high failure rate among local students in the exams and decided to help.
They organized free computer and Jamb preparatory lessons for 240 candidates, addressing the knowledge gap.
The initiative aims to improve digital literacy, aligning with Nigeria’s goal to reach 70% by 2027.
The group’s efforts are gaining attention, inspiring others to replicate similar initiatives.
The free lessons continue until the next Jamb in April, offering hope and opportunities for students like Christian.
