A telecommunication company, Etisalat, has boosted the e-learning space for pupils with the inauguration of a Cliqlite Portal, an internet-enabled application that offers access to educational materials.

The facility, the company said, would enhance the learning experience of students, especially those in primary and secondary schools.

Its Chief Executive Officer, Etisalat Nigeria, Matthew Willsher, made this known at the inauguration of the initiative in Lagos.

He said, “The product is an innovative service that supports education and learning. It gives both students and parents’ access to educational materials not just on the tablet but also on any internet enabled-device.”

Willsher, who said the company attached importance to quality learning and investment in education, added that it supported the sector through other means such as the Adopt-a-School Programme, Etisalat Telecommunications Engineering Post-graduate Programme, Career Counselling and Merit Awards.

Also, the Manager, Teen Segment, Ifeoluwa Oyeyipo, explained that Cliqlite Portal was born out of the need to expand the access scope of the educational product to millions of children and students.

She said, “Cliqlite has been a huge break with testimonials of success among students. We wanted to expand the scope to enable millions of students to access the product and enrich their learning experience. By this, we are using what they love to give them what they need which is quality education.”

According to her, the portal aims at making learning fun through the availability of learning materials that students and their parents can access.

The portal with several features, according to her, has such benefits as free birthday reward and 100 per cent bonus on monthly data purchase from 200MB to 10GB with extra 100 per cent bonus to browse.
