Platform Petroleum Limited has officially commissioned the O.B. Lulu-Briggs ICT Centre for Digital Innovations in Obonoma, Akuku-Toru Local Government Area of Rivers State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The landmark project, commissioned on April 8, 2026, by His Eminence, Bishop John Onaiyekan, represents a major investment in digital infrastructure, education, and youth empowerment across the Niger Delta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donated as part of Platform Petroleum\u2019s corporate social responsibility initiative, the centre is equipped with over 280 networked computers and is positioned as a leading hub for Computer-Based Testing (CBT) and digital learning. It will serve residents across Akuku-Toru, Asari-Toru, and Degema Local Government Areas, significantly reducing the need for travel to urban centres such as Port Harcourt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initiative was spearheaded by the Chairman of Platform Petroleum, High Chief Dumo Lulu-Briggs, in honour of his father, High Chief O.B. Lulu-Briggs, whose legacy of community development and progress continues to inspire transformative interventions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The commissioning ceremony attracted a distinguished audience, including Mr. Ojunekwu Augustine Avuru \u2014 Vice Chairman, Platform Petroleum Limited, Mr. John Anim \u2014 Managing Director\/Chief Executive Officer, senior executives of the company, and key stakeholders across sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Religious leaders were prominently represented, led by His Eminence, Bishop John Onaiyekan, reflecting the significance of the project not only as an infrastructure milestone but also as a moral and social investment in the future of the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The O.B. Lulu-Briggs ICT Centre stands as a forward-looking facility designed to bridge the digital divide, foster innovation, and create new pathways for economic growth and human capital development in Rivers State and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
