The Ogun State Government has commenced the construction of a 900-seater Artificial Intelligence-powered digital classroom complex valued at ₦1 billion at Remo Secondary School, Sagamu, as part of efforts to strengthen technology-driven education in the state.
Governor Dapo Abiodun disclosed this on Saturday during the school’s 80th anniversary celebration, held on the school premises.
In a statement issued on Sunday by his Chief Press Secretary, Lekan Adeniran, the governor said the ultra-modern digital classroom complex was a strategic investment designed to equip students with skills required for the 21st-century knowledge economy.
Abiodun explained that the facility forms part of broader smart-learning initiatives at the school, which include a resource centre and a fully equipped robotics laboratory aimed at promoting innovation, creativity and advanced digital skills among students.
As part of continued support for the institution, the governor announced a ₦100 million donation, pledging to release ₦50 million — representing 50 per cent of the amount — in the coming week.
He also assured that before the end of his tenure, the state government would begin and complete at least one of the ongoing projects at the school.
