According to him, in the last few weeks, we have worked collaboratively with the institution in transforming the former computer lab into an innovation hub by equipping it with 50 monitors, desktops, Samsung E boards, flip boards, cooling units and more convenient set of furniture.
The centre for Information Technology and management of the institute led by Adigun Oyeranmi, has developed a series of programmes, to power the innovation hub and made it a learning hub for as many students studying within the Faculty of Computer Science as well as students with interest in technology.
While receiving the centre on behalf of the institution, Obafemi Omokugbe, rector of the college said is a welcome development, adding that it is evident that Samsung has become a part of nationbuilding.
Omokugbe said the lab is going to be used as a digital and e-learning centre as learning activities will soon commence in the innovation hub as soon as possible.
He assured that all donation made by private organisations to the college are well managed and improved even as he also encouraged more investment from corporate organisations.
