East Coast Diversified Corporation (OTCBB: ECDC), through its
subsidiary EarthSearch Communications, Inc., announces purchase
order and shipment to NairaNet Technology, Ltd. for wireless pilot
project with Nigeria's Ministry of Education to improve security
and class attendance at schools nationwide.
Under the program, EarthSearch "LogiBoxx" integrated GPS/RFID
system, in conjunction with NairaNet Technology, has developed a
network to wirelessly monitor student attendance and access control
at Nigerian schools nationwide. The LogiBoxx technology will
provide school authorities with not only access to real-time
information on a particular student's class attendance, which would
be useful for school administrators to take proactive steps against
truancy, but would also enhance access control and security at
schools to prevent kidnappings which has become an epidemic within
the African nation.
"Our technology and the solutions we offer can be a game changer
in improving access control and security, while improving class
attendance and enhance learning in Africa's largest economy," said
Kayode Aladesuyi, CEO of ECDC. "In addition to Nigeria, we will
also look to deploy these student monitoring systems for other
school districts around the world to showcase how they can
implement our technology to combat poor student attendance and
security."
EarthSearch Solar Powered GPS and RF readers avoid power
shortage issues which are a common occurrence in Nigeria. "We are
delivering a innovative solution powered by Green Energy," said
Kayode Aladesuyi CEO, ECDC.
The School Connect project is the creation of Kenneth Adoki the
Chairman/CEO of NairaNET Technology. "Education is the future of
our nation, providing real time class attendance information to
both school authority and parent creates a parent/school awareness
that can only enhance the educational process," said Kenneth Adoki,
CEO NairaNET Technology.
