Wowbii Infrastructure, Africa’s leading indigenous manufacturer of interactive technology systems, has donated twenty units of its flagship interactive smart boards to the Unity Schools Old Students Association (USOSA),in a move aimed at modernising digital learning across Federal Unity Colleges nationwide.
The initiative seeks to strengthen Nigeria’s public education sector by equipping schools with cutting-edge digital tools.
The smart boards, varying in size from 65 inches to a flagship 105 inches, come equipped with hybrid learning capabilities, including integrated cameras for class recording. Each board supports up to 40 touchpoints, allowing multiple users to write simultaneously, and can convert handwritten notes into digital text. Preloaded with curriculum-aligned resources from the Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC), the boards also include mathematical tools, educational games, and durable Gorilla glass screens, making them both versatile and resilient.
During the handover ceremony in Lagos over the weekend, Wowbii demonstrated how teachers can deliver lessons without traditional notebooks, while retaining the flexibility to annotate and expand topics in real time.
Gbolahan Olayomi, founder and Group CEO of Wowbii Infrastructure, underscored the company’s commitment to transforming education in Africa. “Wowbii has long been dedicated to reshaping the way Africa learns and works.This donation to USOSA is our way of giving back to the Unity Schools, which have contributed to our growth over the years under the support of the federal government,” he said.
Olayomi highlighted the pressing need for digital transformation in classrooms. “While students today are digital natives taking computer-based exams, many schools still rely on outdated methods like chalkboards and markers. Providing modern tools is essential to prepare them for the future.”
He also explained the company’s plans to ensure widespread adoption of its technology, including in areas with limited electricity. “Our smart boards now incorporate solar power capabilities, allowing schools across Nigeria to adopt these tools regardless of local infrastructure. Since 2025, we’ve been rolling them out in public schools across all 36 states and Abuja, and we expect this to accelerate nationwide adoption.”
On Nigeria’s readiness to embrace technology, Olayomi stated, “With federal government initiatives like the digitalisation of public education, the foundation is set. The next step is for states, local governments, private schools, NGOs, and other stakeholders to partner with government efforts to expand access and impact.”
Receiving the donation on behalf of USOSA, Mike Magaji, the association’s president general, expressed gratitude for the initiative. “On behalf of Unity Schools alumni worldwide and the more than 200,000 teachers and students in these schools, we thank Wowbii for this transformative gesture,” he said, while also noting “By providing smart boards to underserved students, Wowbii is enabling access to modern learning tools and setting a precedent for others to follow.”
Magaji outlined how the boards will be distributed across Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones and explained the criteria for selection. Schools demonstrating strong commitment to digital education, supported by engaged alumni and willing management, will be prioritised. “We hope this donation inspires other schools to embrace digital technology, either through future rounds of donations or independent efforts to integrate digital learning,” he added.
As a brand under Equipment Hall Limited, Wowbii Infrastructure reaffirmed its commitment to collaborating with the federal and state governments, educational institutions, and private partners to accelerate the adoption of interactive, hybrid, and virtual learning technologies nationwide. The move aligns with Nigeria’s broader ambition to develop a globally competitive education system powered by digital innovation.
