He has also commenced the distribution of laptops, printers, generators to all the public and mission secondary schools in the state valued at one billion naira.

While speaking at the event, Obi said the first batch of 520 power generators would be distributed to schools to ensure steady power supply.

About 25,000 laptops, 1,400 colour printers and other internet connectivity facilities were distributed in a bid to ensure the success of the Microsoft Information Technology Academy in the schools.
