By focusing on ICT skills, Akpata aims to not only improve educational outcomes but also equip the younger generation with the tools they need to excel in the global workforce.

In addition to improving access and quality, Akpata’s plan includes creating tech hubs and innovation centers within schools to encourage creativity and problem-solving among students. These centers will serve as incubators for new ideas and technological solutions, fostering a culture of innovation from a young age.

Through these initiatives, Akpata seeks to set a new standard for education in Edo State, ensuring that future generations are better prepared to meet the challenges and opportunities of the digital age. His commitment to integrating ICT into education reflects a forward-thinking approach, aiming to transform Edo State into a hub of educational excellence and technological advancement.

The younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, made the allegation in a video shared on his verified Facebook page on Sunday.

He was reacting to a post by an unnamed blogger linking him to a rape allegation, which he denied, describing it as a fabrication intended to damage his reputation because of his refusal to withdraw support for Obi.
