Z-scop ’ll transform educational sector- Ekeh
The Chairman of Zinox Technologies Limited, Chief Leo Stan Ekeh, has said that Z-scop, the firm’s new initiative, is designed to prepare students educated in Nigeria to compete with their counterparts elsewhere in the world.
Speaking in an interview with our correspondent in Lagos, Ekeh said the lack of computer skills was the main reason for the complaints that Nigerian students were not well educated.
He said this led Zinox to design the scheme to enable students own computers and also to have some additional applications to aid learning.
He said Z-scop would make both laptops and desktops available to students using the latest technology, including bluetooth, which allows for mobile Internet connection,
The Z-scop computer acquisition scheme allows students to acquire computers under concessionary payment terms.
A student who purchases one and makes full payment gets a 10 per cent discount. However, the scheme allows for payment to spread over six and 12 months.
Zinox said it planned to sell 100,000 units of the computers over the next 12months.
He added that Intel and Microsoft were working with Zinox on the project with the aim of delivering a final product that would be cost-effective.
He said Zinox was working towards ensuirng that the introductory price of the laptop would be less than N100,000.
He added that the firm would also establish laboratories in various higher institutions in the country to support the scheme.
