The Lateef Jakande Leadership Academy (LJLA) has taken a powerful step toward inclusive and tech-driven education with the launch of the EmpowerAbility Hub — a first-of-its-kind digital space designed to support students with disabilities.
Unveiled on Wednesday, July 2, at Ikeja Senior and Junior High School, GRA Ikeja, the hub represents a total transformation of the school’s ICT lab. It now features accessible digital tools tailored to the needs of students with visual, hearing, and mobility impairments, opening new doors to learning and participation in today’s tech-driven world.
To ensure lasting impact, the initiative also established the EmpowerAbility Club — a platform where students with disabilities can access ongoing mentorship, build confidence, and nurture their creativity through technology.
The launch event was marked by a documentary screening chronicling the journey of the project, the formal commissioning of the facility, and inspiring remarks from leaders in education and disability advocacy.
The initiative is the 2024/2025 Capstone Project of LJLA fellows, who described it as a legacy of inclusion and innovation for future generations of Lagos students.
