THE management of Nigeria’s oil and gas logistics giant, INTELS Nigeria Limited, has donated 12 fully operational computer systems with access to broadband internet to children of the Compassion Centre, Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The children of the Centre are also currently undergoing training on Information Communication Technology (ICT) courtesy of INTELS Nigeria Limited.
The Centre, which has received series of support from INTELS in more than three decades, was established and managed by the Religious Sisters of Charity. It was set up as a home to support, educate and rehabilitate physically challenged children in the society.
According to INTELS ICT Training Specialist, Ngozi Kingsley-Opara, “We have successfully started the ICT training at the Compassion Centre.
The management of the home has been expressing their heartfelt gratitude to INTELS. They are full of thanks for this social service rendered by our company and have promised to ensure that all their pupils take full advantage of this unique opportunity.”
Kingsley-Opara also said that while INTELS has been consistent in supporting the compassion home over the years, the latest donation of computers and free ICT training is a sure way of preparing the less privileged children for a brighter future.
She said the children stand to benefit tremendously from the new computer centre and the knowledge of ICT in the course of their studies because the world of computers is packed full of useful information and new knowledge.
She added that INTELS is holding the ICT training twice a month to cover all classes and children at the home.
“We run two sessions of training, morning and afternoon, each training day so as to be able to cover much grounds. The primary six pupils have only this term remaining to stay in the Centre so we have decided to pay more attention to them to enable them to gain more computer skills before they finish,” Kingsley-Opara added.
