(As Featured in The Guardian Nigeria)
At CloudNotte, we believe every school should have access to the digital tools and support needed to thrive. That’s why we partnered with the Bank of Industry (BOI) and NAPPS to launch a powerful initiative designed to help schools across Rivers State become smarter, more efficient, and future-ready.
This partnership reached a major milestone and it caught national attention. The Guardian Nigeria↗, The Whistler↗, and independent↗ all featured the story, highlighting how this collaboration is helping schools unlock access to funding, technology, and digital training.
🎯 What We Did
We hosted the Educators Insight Event in Port Harcourt, an in-person event that trained and inspired over 700 school owners and educators.
During this event, we:
- Introduced schools to BOI’s ₦5 million loan program through the FGN MSME Intervention Fund (9% interest, 3-year repayment).
- Trained participants on how to use CLOUDNOTTE to improve teaching, learning, and school management.
- Showed schools how to position themselves for funding using CloudNotte’s smart data systems.
- Shared live demos of CloudNotte's school tech platform Including smart classroom tools, student records, payment systems, and parent communication features.
What the Media Said
“BOI partners firm to enhance digital skills in Rivers schools.” — The Guardian Nigeria, July 2025
“We are ready to fund schools that want to scale up and provide value beyond just academic knowledge, — Engr. Pacqueens Irabor, BOI Executive Director (The Whistler)
“Over 700 school owners... were educated on how to digitize and position their institutions for financial access. — MSME Africa
Why This Partnership Matters
This collaboration is important because it solves three major problems:
- Lack of Access to Funding: Many schools want to grow but struggle to access loans. We’re helping them get affordable funding with the right systems in place.
- Low Tech Adoption: Schools need digital tools for better management, reporting, and parent engagement. We provide an all-in-one platform that makes this easy.
- No Clear Strategy: We guide schools step-by-step from data setup to loan readiness ensuring they don’t miss out on big opportunities.
What’s Next?
We're expanding this model to more states across Nigeria.
We’re supporting hundreds more schools with digital tools, training, and financing.
We’ll continue to work with partners like BOI, state ministries, and education NGOs to drive lasting impact.
Final Words from the CloudNotte Team
We’re honored to be part of a story that’s changing lives. This partnership proves that when schools are supported with the right tech and funding, amazing things happen.
