Schneider Electric says it's still pushing the UN's development goals in Nigeria, focusing on education and jobs. Their country president for West Africa, Ajibola Akindele, said this while opening a new testing center at the Federal Polytechnic of Oil and Gas on Bonny Island in Rivers State. The facility is meant to save students from a rough commute to take exams.

A local community leader, Se Alabo Abel Adafe Attoni, thanked the company, explaining that the trip to Port Harcourt used to cost a lot and had safety risks. The center fixes that. A marketing manager for the region, Omobolanle Omotayo, said it removes a major roadblock for students trying to advance their education.

The acting rector of the polytechnic, Dr. Akos Noel Ibrahim, called the center a boost for training quality, allowing access to online resources and outside exam bodies. Akindele noted the power supply comes mainly from NLNG, with Schneider providing backup systems for reliability. The company framed this as part of its long-term work in Nigeria, linking it to its wider tech goals for automation and sustainability.
