Seplat Energy has donated STEAM laboratory equipment to Ihogbe College in Oredo Local Government Area of Edo State.
Speaking during the handing over ceremony, Director of External Affairs and Sustainability, Seplat Energy, Chioma Nwachuku, said the goal was to unleash students’ potential and assist them in developing their science, engineering, mathematics, and art skills by using technology to create, collaborate and complete projects.
She said it would promote a learning environment where students can participate actively in hands-on, practical STEAM learning.
Nwachuku said as a company, Seplat distinguishes itself by implementing distinct educational initiatives to support achieving quality education for students and teachers in its states of operation.
“Seplat is excited that the STEAM laboratory equipment will further strengthen the application of STEAM learning that the company has continued to promote in schools through the Seplat Teachers Empowerment Programme (STEP),” she said.
She said the STEAM laboratory would create a student-centred learning environment, focusing on developing their skills and connecting the STEAM subject areas while preparing them for future careers and the real world.
Commissioner for Education, Edo State, Joan Oviawe, thanked Seplat on behalf of the state government while reiterating that the donation would support the state government’s drive to enhance the role of technology in improving the quality of education.
