Nigeria’s foremost brewing company, Nigerian Breweries Plc (NB Plc), through its Nigerian Breweries-Felix Ohiwerei Education Trust Fund, has inaugurated a Digital Learning Centre at Wisdom International School of Excellence (WISE), Sauka, Lugbe, Abuja, in honour of Ms. Serah Yusuf, winner of the 2025 Maltina Teacher of the Year Competition.
The school infrastructure project forms part of the broader objective of the Maltina Teacher of the Year initiative, which recognises outstanding educators while extending the benefits of their achievements to students and school communities.
The Digital Learning Center, built by the NB-Felix Ohiwerei Education Trust Fund, is equipped with computers, internet connectivity, a smart screen, computer-based testing (CBT) facilities, digital learning and assessment tools, and a 10KVA solar-powered inverter system.
According to the Head of Public, External and Government Affairs, NB Plc, Chukwuemeka Aniukwu, the project reflects the Trust Fund’s commitment to extending the impact of the Maltina Teacher of the Year award beyond the recognition of individual teachers to delivering lasting benefits to their schools and communities.
“Through this project, we are extending the impact of the Maltina Teacher of the Year award beyond recognising outstanding teachers. We want to ensure that their achievements translate into lasting benefits for their schools and communities. By investing in digital learning, we are creating more opportunities for students to access technology-enabled education,” he said.
In her remarks, Deputy Director, Education, Federal Ministry of Education, Dr. Iyabode Alli, commended the Trust Fund for its contribution to education development.
