Lagos State Government Continues Partnership with Roducate
In 2020, Lagos State distributed Roducate e-learning devices to some of its public school secondary school students. By 2021, a year after using the devices, the State recorded a remarkable 79.6% pass rate in that year’s WAEC exams, indicating a 100% improvement. The huge success led the State to deepen its commitment to provide more students with the Roducate e-learning devices.
At an event on Friday, 7th July 2023, the Lagos State Government in partnership with Roducate Limited commenced the distribution of over 18,000 Roducate Ibile e-learning devices to selected public school students within the State.
Roducate Limited, an educational technology company, is committed to enabling every child’s access to quality education and removing all barriers to learning. This collaboration allows Roducate to continue its mission of leveraging technology to provide access to quality education through its Roducate Educational Intervention Devices (REIDs).

In addition to the Roducate application, the devices come with sim cards and data to access the internet safely. Roducate hosts regular Competitions that award gifts not only to the students who perform excellently but to their teachers and parents as well.
