“While students may hunger and yearn for computers they do not have the earning power – so while the demand will be catalysed by students it will be actualised by willing parents, wards, guardians, mentors and other well meaning Nigerians who are willing to invest as little as N3,500 a month in the future of the country”, Omobola Johnson, Minister of Communication Technology says summing up the launch of the Student PC Ownership Programme to equip Nigerian students with computers.

    The ministry should focus on making open source study materials available 24/7 at all levels and training teachers on e-teaching. The students will find their way to PCs especially with private sector cyber cafes, etc.
