Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company Limited (SNEPCo) provided an ultra-modern audio-visual studio, for the training of doctors at the College of Medicine, University of Lagos.
The studio will be used to record lectures and assist to provide a more learning friendly platform, making it easier for students to access information around the world.
"The project is another demonstration of our commitment to quality education," said SNEPCo's Managing Director, Tony Attah, who was represented by Business Relations Manager, Ijere Kanu, at the commissioning of the facility, recently.
"It is our tradition in SNEPCo to ensure that Nigerians - individuals and institutions - benefit from our presence, and together with our partners, we will continue to expand opportunities for students across Nigeria as part of our broader corporate sustainability programmes."
In an address he sent to the occasion, Group General Manager, NAPIMS, Jonathan Okehs, said: "We will continue to support projects that will affect the lives and future of the citizens of Nigeria positively just as the audio-visual studio we're commissioning."
The Provost of College of Medicine, University of Lagos, Prof. Folashade Ogunshola, said: "A major goal in medical education is to improve teamwork and the love for lifelong learning. And research has shown that students cannot only learn by reading but also by audio-visual where they can interact and engage in intellectual discussions. This is where we need an ultra-modern audio-visual studio and we are grateful to SNEPCo and NAPIMS for helping to bring our dream to fruition."
SNEPCo's donation involves the provision of soundproof padding, high quality video and audio recorders, editing hardware and software, monitor, wireless microphones, speakers, air conditioners and general studio furniture. SNEPCo also awards scholarships to Nigerian undergraduate and postgraduate students, and provides entrepreneurial and skill-acquisition to promote self-employment among youths.
