Keystone Bank Donates Fully Equipped ICT Centre to Borno Nursing College

As part of its commitment to education and digital empowerment, Keystone Bank Limited has donated a state-of-the-art ICT Centre to the College of Nursing and Midwifery in Maiduguri, Borno State.

The project, delivered under the Keystone Bank Educational Support Initiative, is designed to enhance digital learning and innovation among students in the healthcare sector.

The newly commissioned centre features 55 computers, 54 workstations, solar and inverter backup, 55 chairs, a librarian’s desk, and a lounge area, creating an ideal environment for digital literacy, research, and academic growth.

At the official handover ceremony held on Monday, July 7, 2025, the bank’s Executive Director for North & Public Sector, Mr. Abubakar Usman Bello, described education as the foundation of a prosperous society.

“At Keystone Bank, we believe education is one of the most powerful tools for national development. This ICT Centre reflects the positive outcomes of public-private collaboration to empower the next generation,” Bello stated.

He also reaffirmed the bank’s support for the Borno State Government’s ongoing efforts to rebuild and strengthen education, especially in areas impacted by insecurity and infrastructural deficits.

Dr. Mustapha Babagana Mallumbe, Acting Chief of Staff and Commissioner for Budget and Planning, praised Keystone Bank for its contribution, calling the ICT Centre “a milestone in Borno’s educational recovery.”

He urged other private sector stakeholders to take a cue from Keystone Bank and invest in the country’s education sector.

Other dignitaries at the event included Engr. Lawan Abba Wakilbe, Commissioner for Education; Dr. Hadiza Yahaya, Provost of the College; Permanent Secretaries from the Ministries of Health and Education; members of the Borno State Executive Council and House of Assembly, and Mr. John Chabri, Regional Head, North-East, Keystone Bank.

The ICT Centre is expected to improve digital access, support academic research, and help the college produce well-trained healthcare professionals to meet the state’s growing healthcare demands.
