Samsung Electronics West Africa is set to launch its first digital village in Oban community, located in Akamkpa Local Government Area of Cross River State.
The project, which is part of the company’s strategic Corporate Citizenship program, will provide access to innovative healthcare and educational needs of the community, with the aim of improving health outcomes, strengthening education delivery and increasing the economic potentials of Oban.
Highlighting the unique features of this solution, Brovo Kim, Managing Director of Samsung Electronics West Africa, said the Samsung Digital Village is innovative in its design due to its use of alternative energy, which remains a major challenge in Nigeria and is often an obstacle in implementing such initiatives in rural communities.
“The Digital Village demonstrates our innovative approach to investing in people and their communities. This initiative offers a complete educational infrastructure, comprehensive healthcare solution and power generation capabilities that will spur the growth of small businesses and harness the energy of the sun to minimise running costs, among others,” Kim said. The launch is scheduled for May 7, 2015.
The digital village consists of five key integrated solutions that work together to benefit a community in the delivery of health care services, education and employment.
