A member of the National Youth Service Corps Batch B 2016, Jaja, Lucy Samuel handed over a fully established ICT laboratory and constructed a block of 2 toilets to her host school and NYSC Secretariat respectively in Abak Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State. The ICT laboratory and Toilet block, which are the Personal Community Development projects of Miss Jaja, a graduate of Political Science and International Relations from Esep Le-Bergér Université, Cotonou, came at the right time being that there wasn’t an ICT laboratory in the school before now, not even a mouse to site and students found it difficult to understand the entire concept and rudiments of the subject.
However, more than three communities in and around Abak Local Government Area – (Etimekpo, Ukanafun, Uruk-anang, just to mention a few) depends on the school as the sole source of primary and secondary education for their children.
The block of toilet constructed consists of two units of toilet space (for both male and female) met the need of the staff at the NYSC Secretariat. Before Miss Jaja’s intervention, the NYSC Secretariat, had no toilets which created a poor working environment for staff at the secretariat. The corps member, who serves with Mcintire Secondary Commercial School, Utu-Abak, established an ICT Laboratory, equipping it with 3 monitors, 3 CPUs, a 3-in-1 hp Laserjet Printer, 3 units of mouse, 3 keyboards, installed software programes on all 3 system units, fixed electrical connections, bought a brand new Sumen Firman generator set to power these gadgets, painted the laboratory and secured it with burglary proofs including the roof.
