The Government College Ibadan Old Boys Association (GCIOBA) and ipNX Nigeria Limited have collaborated to launch a campus-wide digital connectivity project at the Government College Ibadan (GCI). The initiative aims to provide over 2,250 students and staff with access to high-speed broadband internet, thereby enhancing digital learning, improving teaching, and expanding educational resources at the public secondary school.
A fibre backbone has been installed to connect 29 buildings, with enterprise-grade wireless connectivity provided within each building. This infrastructure is designed to establish a resilient digital ecosystem that supports teaching, learning, research, and efficient school administration, while also facilitating the adoption of future-ready digital learning resources.
The project was showcased at the 2026 GCIOBA Lagos branch annual luncheon, where it was welcomed by alumni, stakeholders, and guests. GCIOBA President Olawale Babalakin emphasized the association's commitment to equipping students with the necessary tools and learning environment to thrive in a globalized world. ipNX Nigeria Limited's Group Managing Director, Ejovi Aror, emphasized the long-term investment in Nigeria's future, stating that digital infrastructure is now essential for modern education.
The luncheon also honored two former college alumni, Dr. Burian Carew and Dr. Blackie Aror, with posthumous merit awards for their significant contributions to Nigeria's technology and educational development.
