UNICEF and technology company TECNO reported in a press release dated 10 September 2026 that the Learning Passport digital education programme in Nigeria had more than 2.45 million registered users, after adding 471,189 in the preceding year. The overall course completion rate rose from 69% in the first year to 81.6% in the second, according to the release.
The second-year report said 2,300 teachers received specialised training in digital literacy and platform use. Ten schools in remote areas of Osun and Kwara states were equipped with tablets and smart projectors. A blended learning handbook was distributed in Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba, and outreach in Enugu State helped 1,888 out-of-school children gain access to the platform, the release stated.
As reported on that date, TECNO and UNICEF said they planned to deepen the partnership for a third year, focusing on advanced teacher courses and the use of the handbook and devices in classroom design. UNICEF Nigeria Country Representative Wafaa Saeed said the progress highlighted investment in child-centred solutions; TECNO General Manager Jack Guo said technology must be matched with local languages, teachers and community contexts. The figures are as reported at the time and were not independently verified.
