The commissioning of the ICT Centre and E-Library was followed by the group’s antidrug and peddling campaign in collaboration with the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).

Speaking at the event, the Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang, represented by the Commissioner for Science, Technology and Innovation, Dr Cletus Shurkuk, commended JeJe Riders Nigeria for the laudable initiative, describing it as a remarkable demonstration of corporate social responsibility.

The government’s commitment to ICT-driven development, citing the recent launch of the Plateau State Agro Innovation Market Space and the Smart Education Initiative, with Science School Kuru, as the pilot center.

The governor noted that JeJe Riders Nigeria’s intervention aligns with the government’s vision of leveraging technology to drive education and youth empowerment.

He encouraged other organisations to emulate such efforts in fostering digital literacy and combating social vices among students.

In his remarks, Ibrahim Tizhe, chairman of the Board of Trustees (BoT) of Jeje Riders Nigeria, said Jeje Riders have been at the forefront of promoting education across schools in the country, exposing the dangers of drug abuse, and peddling students‘ education.

Tizhe stated that different biking associations and clubs are involved in nationwide community support and development activities.

He said Jeje Riders and the entire biking community have delivered community development services to several communities and schools across the country in the last few years.

“If you go round the country, you will see projects executed by bikers and these funds come from their pockets with some sponsors supporting them. For example, the Mentalist Bull Riders from Lagos are currently renovating libraries across various schools in Lagos.

“For us in Jeje Riders and the entire biking community, we have

delivered community development service across the country. We gave out foodstuffs to households during the flood disaster of 2021 in Jigawa State and gave heart-saving equipment to the Barau Dikko Teaching Hospital in Kaduna and the 44 Army Reference Hospital also in Kaduna, ICT centres and E-Library in Gombe, Jigawa and Adamawa States, as well integrated water project in Zamfara State, to mention but a few,” Tizhe stated.

He further said that the group’s focus is youth development, which is why it partnered with the Plateau State Government to site the ICT Center and E-Library in Jos.

On the NDLEA‘s involvement in its anti-drug campaign in schools, Tizhe said the campaign was signed off by the NDLEA under the leadership of the chairman, Brig: Gen. Buba Marwa (Rtd), and the entire NDLEA team at their headquarters in Abuja.

“Our youth development activities are actually on two fronts. One is supporting students with modern learning aids, like the ICT Center and E-library we are commissioning today.

“This is to develop the skills of our students and make them compete with their counterparts in the world. The world is going digital, and everything today is about ICT and abilities.

“This ICT Center is to enhance their learning skills, help the teachers to pass knowledge correctly about ICT and information technology.

“The second front is the antidrug workshop; we are pushing students to develop the area of education, but we are also pulling them back from the harmful vices of drug abuse and peddling.

“If our people are involved in drugs, their future development is hindered, stalled or destroyed. We don’t want that to happen. We want a great Nigeria for all of us. Furthermore, we want them to fulfil their potential,” Tizhe said.

He urged the students to make the best use of the infrastructure provided them and applied the knowledge from the anti-drug workshop, while urging teachers in the school to give the students the maximum support to enhance their education and moral development.

The Plateau State NDLEA Commander, Anthony Gotar, while speaking at the event assured that the NDLEA remains committed to protecting schools and communities from the scourge of drugs.

He said the agency will continue to work closely with relevant stakeholders to ensure that those engaged in drug trafficking, especially those who target young people, are brought to justice.

The principal of Government Secondary School, Kyan Rikkos, Mrs Rahila Dafyak, expressed appreciation to Jeje Riders Nigeria and the biking community for holding the student anti-drug workshop in the school and especially for the multimillion-naira ICT Infrastructure donated to the school.

She also solicited the help of the state government to erect a perimeter fence and an entrance gate to the school to enhance the security of the learning infrastructure that has just been commissioned.

Facilitators at the Drug Abuse Campaign were drawn from the NDLEA and professionals from the Nigerian Biking Community, while sponsors of the Students Anti-Drug Abuse campaign include Flour Mills of Nigeria (Golden Penny), Ar-Rahim Synergy, G-Connect Lounge, S.A. Golden, Dr Adedayo Ibrahim, Alhaji Ameenu Mohammed Isa, and Mrs Maureen Augustine.

Traditional leaders, principals, and teachers were also present at the event. Over 280 students participated in the exercise, drawn from across 10 secondary schools in Jos.
