Lagos, July 26, 2025 — Financial technology firm OPay Digital Services has called on corporate bodies, public sector institutions, and philanthropists to prioritize investment in the educational development of Nigerian schoolchildren, stressing the need for stronger partnerships to bridge learning gaps across the country.
The company made this appeal during a recent corporate social responsibility initiative held in Lagos, where it emphasized that the long-term prosperity of Nigeria hinges on the quality of education accessible to its youth.
OPay stated that improving educational infrastructure and learning conditions, particularly in underserved communities, must become a collective responsibility. According to the firm, active involvement from the private sector and well-meaning individuals can accelerate access to quality learning tools, facilities, and mentorship for millions of Nigerian pupils.
While highlighting the increasing digital divide and resource limitations faced by many schools, OPay reaffirmed its commitment to empowering the next generation through tech-driven educational support, scholarships, and digital literacy programs.
The company also urged other stakeholders to align their social investment priorities with sustainable educational outcomes, noting that nurturing Nigeria’s human capital from the foundational level is critical to building a thriving, competitive economy.
