margin-bottom: 20px;"> Speaking at the grand finale in Yaba, Lagos, Southwest Nigeria, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Education, Obafela Bank-Olemoh said the Code Lagos competition was designed to encourage the use of  wider ranges of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, STEM, skills within the school curriculum and also to raise ICT standards among the schools.</div> <div class="google-auto-placed ap_container" style="box-sizing: border-box;

margin-bottom: 20px;"> Bank-Olemoh, who noted that CodeLagos was a  mandate of Governor Akinwumi Ambode’s administration to prepare Lagos residents for the technology driven future,  said over 1,340 Lagos residents were currently being trained in the third session of CodeLagos out-of-School programme holding in 12 centres across the State.</div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box;

margin-bottom: 20px;"> He insisted on meeting the target of training one million Lagosians on coding, saying that both public and private schools across the state were currently benefiting from the training, assuring that strategies were being put in place to ensure that greater part of the residents did not only understand coding but also know how to code, using computer programming language.</div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;"> Bank Olemoh described CodeLagos initiative as largest education technology in Africa, stating that “everything you do today is revolves round the programming. Today, we have 337 schools that have coding classes regularly. We also have centres where coding is thought freely. We have in Ipaja, Yaba Meiran, Surulere; we are excited that we have been able to get thousands of people trained on coding.</div> <div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;"> “Before the end of 2018, we would have set up 1,500 In-School coding centres and 50 Out-of-School centres across Lagos State and by our projections, over 150,000 Lagos residents would have been trained by December 2018.”</div> <div dir="ltr" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;"> Also Speaking, the Tutor General and Permanent Secretary, Education District IV, Mrs Lola Adegbite, urged the students to cease the opportunity to improve themselves, saying that many schools had keyed into the initiative and also called on stakeholders to support the administration in terms of funding.</div> <div dir="ltr" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;"> One of the students, who won the first position in the junior category competition, Afolabi Williams also expressed  his joy.</div> <div dir="ltr" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 20px;"> Another student, who participated in the coding, Iwelumo Claire, said she had learnt so many skills in coding so far, saying that she had been able to use coding to create an ATM game as well as used coding to convert pounds to naira.</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div> <br /></div>
