ORYA COMMENCES FOUR-WEEK COMPUTER TRAINING FOR BEGINNERS IN ODE REMO.
President Approves Five Additional Sponsored Slots as Association Calls for More Support
ORYA PR OFFICE, ODE REMO, OGUN STATE: Monday, August 10, 2026,
The Ode Remo Youth Association (ORYA) has commenced its Computer Training Programme for Beginners, an initiative designed to introduce participants to the fundamentals of computer usage and provide them with a solid foundation for further learning in the digital and technology space.
The four-week training programme officially commenced on Monday, August 10, 2026, at the Asiwaju Bisi Adegbuyi ICT and Resource Centre, Town Hall, Ode Remo, and is expected to run until Thursday, September 10, 2026.
The programme was formally declared open by the President of the Association, Comrade Oluwamuyiwa Ogunbote, who was represented by the Vice President I Comrade Babatunde Orelaja, alongside other officials of the Association.
In his opening address, the President urged the participants to remain law-abiding, dedicated and determined throughout the training. He described the initiative as an important opportunity for the trainees to acquire basic computer knowledge and establish a strong foundation upon which they can build more advanced digital and technological skills in the future.
He encouraged the participants to take the training seriously, make effective use of the opportunity provided by the Association and remain committed to continuous learning, noting that the knowledge acquired could serve as a stepping stone to greater opportunities in the technology-driven world.
In his remark, the Speaker of the ORYA Parliament, Senator Ambassador Kamal Idowu, represented by the Deputy Speaker, Senator Comrade Ladejobi Dolapo, urged the trainees to conduct themselves responsibly and become good ambassadors of the community.
He advised them to approach the training with seriousness, discipline and a willingness to learn, describing the programme as a valuable opportunity to take their first steps into the world of technology.
The training commenced with a total of 23 participants, while the Association expects the number to increase in the coming days as more interested and eligible participants join the programme.
FIVE ADDITIONAL SPONSORED SLOTS AVAILABLE
In a further boost to the initiative, the President of ORYA has approved five additional slots to be fully sponsored by an illustrious son of the soil, thereby creating an opportunity for five more interested candidates to participate in the programme at no cost.
The Association is therefore calling on interested candidates who wish to benefit from the sponsored slots to quickly reach out to the handlers of the programme for registration, as the slots are limited and will be made available to eligible candidates on a first-come basis.
The initiative is part of ORYA's commitment to youth empowerment, digital literacy and human capital development, providing young people with access to basic computer education in an increasingly digital society.
Meanwhile, ORYA has appealed to well-meaning individuals, philanthropists, corporate organisations and other stakeholders to continue supporting the initiative through the sponsorship of additional trainees and the procurement of advanced computers and other essential equipment for the training facility.
The Association believes that sustained support will enable more young people to benefit from the programme and provide them with the basic digital knowledge needed to progress into more advanced areas of technology, education and entrepreneurship.
With the fourth cohort of trainees now underway, ORYA says the programme represents another practical step towards building a digitally literate, responsible and better-equipped generation of youths in Ode Remo.
