uLesson and Airtel has partnered to offer subscribers of the edtech solution, who use Airtel network to access learning materials on the uLesson app.
The subscribers would be given free 500MB daily by the telco.
The collaboration is to subsidize online education for uLesson app users during the COVID-19 stay at home period.
The Chief Commercial Officer of Airtel Nigeria, Dinesh Balsingh, noted that, “Airtel Nigeria is passionate about Nigerian youth and committed to doing whatever is required to flatten the COVID-19 curve.
“As a key stakeholder in the Nigerian project, we are pleased to partner with uLesson to connect young Nigerians to platforms that will empower them to become successful and also realize their full potential.”
The Chief Executive Officer of uLesson, Sim Shagaya, stated that the partnership was in line with uLesson’s mission to help students be the very best they can be and prepare them for a future in various disciplines.
“We designed the uLesson app to enable students to have access to high-quality, affordable and accessible education, helping them maximise their academic achievement,” he said.
“Beyond providing an opportunity for more students to use a platform that enables them to study in a simplified and easy manner, this partnership further bridges the education gap that has resulted from the current health crisis by creating a fully integrated data-free learning solution,” Mr Shagaya further explained.
