“Mobile Classroom App targets primarily the Nigerian market but will offer services to other interested parties beyond the shores of Nigeria,” he said.

“This application is presently loaded with subjects offered in Nigeria’s national examination – WAEC, UTME, NECO, among others – in line with the syllabuses of various bodies conducting such tests.”

Segun Ajibola, a legal practitioner who was the guest of honour at the event, said the app is a welcome development and will be a useful tool for students nationwide.

“The introduction of Mobile Classroom app will provide bigger opportunity for Nigerians to acquire education as it is now possible to learn on the go,” Ajibola said.
