Kwara Education Stakeholders Push Digital Shift to Transform Learning, School Management

Education stakeholders in Kwara State have called for wider adoption of digital technology in teaching, examination preparation and school administration, saying technology has become essential to improving efficiency and preparing Nigerian students for the demands of the modern economy.

The call was made at the ExamPrep & School Management System Symposium organised by Icitify Solutions Limited and Keuntech at the Nigerian Society of Engineers, Ilorin Branch, Tanke, Ilorin.

The symposium brought together students, school owners, principals, administrators, educators, government representatives and technology experts to examine how digital solutions could address some of the challenges confronting learning and school administration.

Speaking at the event, the Chief Executive Officer of Icitify Solutions Limited, Mr A. AbdulAzeez, said the initiative was aimed at providing practical technological solutions to challenges associated with conventional educational and administrative processes.

He said digital transformation in education should not be limited to placing computers in classrooms, but should involve the deployment of technology to improve the entire education ecosystem.

“Today is not just about the launch of a software; it is about the future of education in Kwara State and Nigeria as a whole,” AbdulAzeez said.

The symposium showcased two technology-driven platforms: ExamPrep, designed to assist candidates preparing for JAMB, WAEC, NECO, NABTEB and Post-UTME examinations, and a School Management System aimed at simplifying critical administrative functions.

The ExamPrep platform, according to the organisers, provides learners with access to more than 50,000 questions across different subjects, as well as mock examinations and an artificial intelligence-powered tutor to help students understand difficult topics and identify areas requiring improvement.

The platform also provides parents with tools to monitor their children’s academic performance through progress reports and access to stored academic records.

For schools, the School Management System offers a centralised platform for handling admissions, fee payments, attendance, student records, staff administration and other operational activities.

Guest speaker at the symposium, Dr Suleiman Abimbola Yahya, a former Head of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Ilorin, explained that the system could help schools reduce their reliance on fragmented manual processes while making information easier to manage and retrieve.

The discussions further highlighted the potential of technology to promote inclusion by giving students wider access to educational resources while enabling schools to operate more efficiently in an increasingly digital environment.

Stakeholders also stressed the importance of collaboration among technology companies, schools, government agencies and other players in the education sector, noting that stronger partnerships could stimulate innovation, create opportunities for young people and support the development of locally relevant educational solutions.

The Icitify Digital Skill Empowerment Foundation (IDSEF) was also presented as part of the organisers’ broader efforts to promote digital skills training and provide scalable technology solutions to organisations.

Attention was equally drawn to initiatives targeting young people, including the U-Inspired Programme for final-year students of the University of Ilorin, which provides participants with opportunities to acquire practical knowledge and demonstrate skills gained during their studies.

The organisers also recognised young talents from Kwara State associated with the 2026 International Spelling Bee Competition, reinforcing their emphasis on linking academic excellence with technology and innovation.

Participants at the symposium agreed that the future of education in Nigeria would increasingly depend on the ability of schools and policymakers to embrace technology not only as a teaching aid but as a tool for improving administration, expanding access to learning and empowering young people.

The organisers maintained that sustained investment in digital education, coupled with effective partnerships among stakeholders, would help Nigerian schools adapt to the demands of the digital economy and equip students with skills needed to compete in a rapidly changing world.
