Feather Internet was launched at Ignatuis Ajuru University, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, promises to offer students across Nigeria free high-speed internet connectivity, ensuring they can access educational materials, online courses and virtual learning platforms. The initiative comes at a time when access to digital resources has become increasingly crucial for students’ academic progress.
Speaking about the initiative, the Chief Executive Officer of Raven Bank, Uchenna Nnodim said, “The overarching digital lacuna within Nigeria’s educational framework and the bank’s dedication to promoting financial literacy among the youth is the motivating rational that prompted the project. The Feather Internet initiative reflects the bank’s passion to ensuring that students have unhindered access to academic materials and research works.
“The name ‘Feather Internet’ finds its inspiration in Raven Bank’s avian mascot, symbolizing the swift and agile nature of the bird’s wings. The moniker reflects the initiative’s capacity to transcend boundaries and redefine digital engagement.”
