IHS Cameroon, part of the IHS Holding Limited (NYSE: IHS) (“IHS
Towers”) group, one of the largest independent owners, operators,
and developers of shared communications infrastructure in the world
by tower count, has announced the official commissioning of ICT
centers at the Government Bilingual High School (GBHS) Sodiko in
Bonaberi, Douala, in the presence of the Minister of Secondary
Education, Professor Nalova Lyonga, and other dignitaries from the
Littoral Region. GBHS Sodiko was selected by IHS Cameroon for the
company’s 2023 ICT Center Project.
This project seeks to help broaden the number of people who can
access and benefit from education through improved mobile
connectivity and digital skills. Designated as a school for
internally displaced people, from the conflict zones of Northwest
and Southwest Cameroon, GBHS Sodiko currently serves more than
2,000 students.
Under the project, IHS Cameroon has refurbished the school’s
existing ICT center and built a new center equipped with 30
computers, video conferencing facilities and internet
connectivity.
According to IHS Cameroon CEO, Olufemi Arosanyin,
“Through this project, we want to leverage existing school
infrastructure and help build new ICT centers where both teachers
and students can benefit from internet connectivity to further
develop their skills, and access new educational material. Our aim
is to help empower the Cameroonian youth through education, so that
they are better able to contribute to the long-term economic growth
of this country.”
Professor Nalova Lyonga, Minister of Secondary Education,
said, “In this digital age, it is the equipment that makes the
difference. We want to build a repository of virtual learning to
ensure that we can train people, so that they can go out to the
rest of the country and share their digital skills with others. One
of our ambitions is to have digital centers in all ten regions of
Cameroon. Thanks to IHS' commitment, we believe we can achieve this
dream in the future.”
