The Imo State Government has named the IT center in Imo Center for Advanced Professional, ICAP, after Zinox Computers in recognition of the company’s contribution to the development of Information Technology in Nigeria. The announcement was made by Owelle Rochas Okorocha, Executive Governor of Imo State while receiving the donation of 4 fully fitted security vans and equipment valued at over N50m. The Imo State Governor said that the donation from a team of the Zinox Group led by Leo Stan Ekeh as Chairman is further proof of Leo Stan Ekeh’s commitment to the development of knowledge. Owelle Rochas called on well meaning citizens of Imo State to follow the exemplary conduct of Leo Stan Ekeh saying the situation in the State today calls for all hands to be on deck irrespective of political affiliation.
The Chairman of the Zinox Group, Leo Stan Ekeh announced the donation of 4 fully fitted security vans, 150 Jonta flash lights, 150 self-charging digital lanterns, and 150 I-Max radio sets to support the security monitoring functions of Imo State. These will add digital comfort to Policemen on duty. In addition, Zinox, he said had released N10, 000,000 to Imo Foundation launched by His Excellency a few months ago in support of structured overall social development of Imo state. Mr. Ekeh said that as a group of companies primarily concerned with knowledge development and building a new generation of Nigerians, the Zinox Group would also donate digital knowledge content encapsulated in Zinox WHIZKID version 2 to four schools in the State. This content would make kids from privileged and exposed public schools better while enhancing the overall academic performance of the underserved. “We would also provide digital training sessions for teachers to improve the overall teaching and learning environment. Our expectation is that the total cost of this intervention would be N50m”.
The Zinox Chairman said that the recent developments in Imo State deserve the support of all. He recalled the expanding of existing and building new infrastructure – roads, parks, schools – breaking the myth about the impossibility of free education, the provision of portable water, and the guaranteeing of a safe and stable environment. Mr. Ekeh said that the Owelle Rochas administration has made Imo State one of the fastest developing States in the Federation describing what Owelle Rochas has started is awesome and deserves to be encouraged.
The Zinox Group said Mr. Ekeh, is a responsible corporate citizen whose contributions to society form an integral part of the vision of its founding fathers. “Zinox has a tradition of executing major CSR every five years outside our annual commitments in the spirit of Zinox”. He traced the history of Zinox CSR in Imo State, such interventions such as building and equipping of digital laboratories at the Federal Poytechnic, Nekede, Imo State University and Federal University of Technology, Owerri and some secondary schools in Imo state. “There is no geo-political zone in the country that has not been touched by our interventions in tertiary, secondary and primary education. Our interest in capacity building has benefitted scores of Imo indigenes in the form of scholarships at all levels of education including post graduate education in world class European and American Universities”.
