ICYMI: ‘I started learn-at-home radio to boost remote learning’ | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News
Among the new things that the coronavirus pandemic has made to happen in Nigeria, stay-at-home learning is one of the most difficult to cope with. Many initiatives, including scheduled educational radio broadcasts, were introduced to make the special learning strategy work. Despite all these efforts, not much success has been achieved.
Your platform is already swelling with over four million users in Nigeria alone. How were you able to achieve these number in a short time? We were able to achieve our 4 million users through several initiatives to reach our target audience. We were able to leverage on a large network of agents across the 36 states of Nigeria, who worked with us in reaching kids in remote and closed-out communities. These agents were mostly young people, who understand the local terrain, and were amazingly committed to bringing the Learn-at-Home channels to their communities.
The project has enjoyed tremendous support of the government. We have had states that directly promoted it among the learners and even teachers. On the launch date, we had the pleasure of hosting dignitaries such as Governors Aminu Bello Masari and Aminu Tambuwal ably represented by the Commissioner for Commerce, Mallam Basiru Gidado.
