Omobile, a Nigerian tech company, has launched the SABIHUB mobile app and Omobile Hybrid Tablets designed to enhance learning for Nigerian schoolchildren.
The unveiling ceremony, which took place in Abuja on Saturday, also saw the donation of 1,000 Omobile tablets to students across the capital city.
Speaking at the event, the Chief Executive Officer of Omobile, David Ogunbanjo, said the innovation was built to bridge the educational divide between privileged and underprivileged students in the country.
“We built SABIHUB to fill the disconnection in Nigerian education,” Ogunbanjo said.
“Too many students are falling into the cracks between the elite and lower-class systems. We are fixing that with one app.”
SABIHUB, according to the developers, gives students access to verified video lessons, past examination questions, live tutorials, gamified quizzes, and performance tracking.
The app also allows students to chat with their teachers, attend virtual classes, and monitor their academic progress in real time.
Parents are not left out. They receive detailed insight into their children’s academic performance, can message teachers directly, and track attendance records.
“Teachers on the SABIHUB platform can post lesson content, share teaching materials, and earn income based on engagement. They can also build a follower base, similar to mainstream social media platforms.
“Schools can register their students, assign homework, manage results, and communicate with parents and staff—all through the app”.
Also speaking,Director of the FCT Department of Science, Technology and Innovation praised the project, calling it “a much-needed innovation in the education system.”
“This app has eliminated distractions and brought meaningful engagement into classrooms. We haven’t had this before,” he said.
“It is time for teachers and students alike to embrace the jet age with technology at the centre of learning.”
Also speaking at the launch, the President of the National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPS), Chief Mrs Ruyakat Agboola, commended the initiative.
She recalled how earlier technology projects like the national unity robot sparked interest among pupils and helped nurture creativity in schools.
“Our children became more innovative and creative. This SABIHUB project will take them even further,” she said.
Ogunbanjo added that the app and devices were made in Nigeria by Nigerians, tailored to meet the specific needs of Nigerian learners.
