[size=15pt]Pupils win Linux scholarships[/size]


Two students of the Fountain Heights School, Surulere, Lagos, Mosope Odukoya and Efemena Agbaire, have won scholarships for their performances in Linux Systems Administration from foremost Linux Programme Training Manager, VNigeria.

On the award, which was set up to mark the third anniversary of the company, Chief Executive, Adedayo Adasanya commended Mosope, who pooled the highest votes through an online election as the best Linux System Administrator of the school. He was rewarded with a Linux-enabled computer, which would help with his education.

Efemena, on the other hand, was voted the most active student in class and won a scholarship worth $3,500 from the company.

Adesanya described the success recorded by the students as a huge challenge to other schools which are yet to embrace Linux Information Technology, saying the mode of programming is widely utilised.

“There is no doubt that the benefits of Linux Programme are numerous. For example, Facebook was built on Linux, Twitter was built on Linux, Amazon was built on Linux, Android is a mobile distribution of Linux, 70 per cent of our Television sets run Linux and Military weapons too run Linux,” said Adesanya.

He added that Nigeria being the only certified Red Hat training partner in West Africa, aims at bringing Linux (using Red Hat as a standard) to Nigerian students by providing them with Linux administration modules while focusing on core administration tasks.

Already, two institutions, Yaba College of Technology (Computer Science Department) and The University of Lagos (Systems Engineering Department) are set to introduce Linux as a course from next session.

Very good news.

ICT is where the gold is at right now and if we wish to develop, we must pay proper attention to it.

Nigerians are never in short supply of talent. The govt simply needs to provide enabling environment and upgraded infrastructure and leave the rest to these talented Nigerians.
