During the past few years and although Nigeria is one of the most populated countries in Africa with almost 186 million inhabitant, the current government has made a remarkable tremendous progress in achieving its long-term strategy and reaching its international commitments towards the United Nations Sustainable Development goals (SDGs). However, in a time of rapid change, it’s critical to seriously tackle the educational sector challenges to attain Nigerian welfare. According to the national education survey in 2015 the following facts were highlighted: • 68% of primary school-aged children attended primary school, • There has been a steady increase in rates of attendance among youth aged 12–17 years over time, such that by 2015, 56% of students aged 12–17 years attended secondary education (junior and senior secondary schools). • 57% of females were likely to be attending secondary school compared with 55% of males; • Despite overall gains in attendance rates over time, regional disparities persist, with the North East and North West regions’ primary school attendance rates remaining about half those of southern regions. Rural primary NARs have remained constant (56% in 2003, and 59% in 2015). • In contrast, urban primary NARs have seen an increase from 70% in 2003 to 81% in 2015. While rural secondary NARs have shown growth from 39% in 2003 to 46% in 2015, urban secondary NARs have grown even faster, from 46% in 2003 to 70% in 2015. The above statistics shows that education has been considered as a vital factor in driving fast and steady socio-economic development in Nigeria, however there are still lots to be done in that realm. Fortunately, strengthening the benefits and potential of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) applications and building capacities in education are a magic solution in today’s society. Technological advancements made in recent decades have induced dramatic improvements in the quality of education and in the way it is delivered and managed. Computers and Internet-based technologies have become the pivotal drivers for enhancing education in the 21st century. It is now evident that any progress made in the educational sector will positively influence all other sectors of the economy. The role of these technologies in the improvement of the national economy is now fully recognised. In this context, the purpose of this project is to share in realizing the Nigerian education strategy through harnessing ICTs to enhance and strengthen the education reforms in secondary schools. The targeted beneficiaries are teachers, administrators and students at schools, as well as the wider community surrounding those schools. In the project 10 secondary schools in 3 governorates will be modernized in ICT infrastructure, e-curricula and HR capacity building. Furthermore, an e-learning centre will be empowered to serve all other schools' students as well as trainees from surrounding community. The selected schools, after formal school time, may serve as Community Learning Centres (CLC), with the purpose of teaching ICT-based courses as well as entrepreneurial courses to the community at large. Trainees will become more aware of the benefits of new technologies and improve their ICT skills. Finally, this pilot project is intended to become a model to be replicated domestically and, possibly, internationally
