The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Raven Bank, Uchenna Nnodim, has said that the bank has begun the empowerment of 400,000 students across universities in the country with daily free access to the internet with the aim of boosting academic excellence.
During the maiden launch of Raven Feather Internet at the Ignatius Ajuru University, Rumolumeli, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on Friday, Nnodim said Raven was a digital bank that used technology that personalised financial tools that were fast, secure and reliable.
He said, “The intention of launching this project is because we believe that the opportunities that come from the internet are endless. As a student, we believe that for you to differentiate yourself in the 21st Century, you need access to the internet.
“It is aimed to give 400,000 Nigerian students access to free internet on a daily basis. This is the maiden launch, and just in one location. We intend to extend it to other universities. The essence is to ensure that students have access to the internet for their academic pursuit and research.”
