The Chairman House of Representatives Committee on Communications, Hon. Ojo Oyetunde, has advised Nigerian students to avoid all forms of cyber crimes capable of destroying their future.

Oyetunde gave this charge, while addressing students of Michael Otedola College of Primary Education, MOCPED, Noforija-Epe, Lagos, during the commissioning of 110 laptops donated by the Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC) to MOCPED and Okemagba High School, Mojoda-Epe, in line with its Advanced Digital Access Programme for Tertiary Institutions (ADAPTI) and Universal Service Provision Fund (USPF) initiatives.

According to the lawmaker, the kind gesture which was facilitated by Hon. Lanre Odubote, a member of the Communications committee, representing Epe Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, is in line with the nation’s efforts towards advancing ICT in schools across the country, thereby meeting the vision 20-20:20, where ICT plays a paramount role to improving the country’s economy.

Urging students to make judicious use of the facility to advance their education, he said: “NCC I will say a big thank you to you. We are your watchdogs and that shows you are doing our jobs as well.

“You know with the trend that ICT is taking, our teachers need to be updated in order to teach the students.

”The students should also always gain access to the computers, with internet connected broadband. As part of our promises to your school, we will make available a 24 hours wireless route, that will enable students use their laptops to connect the internet anywhere within the campus.
