Arabi disclosed that BPSR envisions Educatial offering tailor-made courses specifically designed to meet the unique requirements of Nigerian public servants. “These courses will act as catalysts, enhancing their skills, competencies, and professionalism. Our firm conviction is that an investment in our workforce will lead to an enhancement in the quality of government services, increased efficiency, and heightened effectiveness in serving our citizens”, he declared.
Founder of Educatial, Mr. Muofunanya Francis Chizoba emphasised their organisation’s commitment as a next-generation Educational Technology (EdTech) software-as-a-service platform, dedicated to transforming learning for students, educators, and government bodies across Africa.
