Samsung Electronics, world leading smart technology company and Proxynet Communication, a Nigerian ICT Company focusing on Systems Integrations, Network Security /disaster recovery Solution, Enterprise Software Solutions, have upgraded school information management system with dual versions of ProSkool solution.
While Proxynet provides the information management software, Samsung Electronics is providing the large format display, otherwise known as e-Board.
ProSkool, which is now in two versions (local and online) is a web-based application for aggregating schools information as stored in ProSkool School Management System (SMS) deployed to various schools.
It is a locally and ingeniously made software with ability to simplify task and make records useful as well as proper backing up of data.
Speaking at the workshop in Lagos to showcase the technology, Mr. Ifeanyi Ozo-Onyali, managing director, Proxynet Communications, said that in the contemporary Nigeria, ProSkool is no longer an option for a result focused school rather a necessity.
Commenting on the vision behind the project, Ozo-Onyali, said: “Around us, we have seen that managing school records has been one major challenge faced by school. This realization is important, but much more important is the action taken to ensure that a good management system is deployed to effectively manage the ever-growing school and thus simplifying school workloads.
“Our Software-the ProSkool is a complete school management system that has changed the DNA of many schools. It is a prescription that manages both students and staff records seamlessly, thus simplifying school management procedures”.
Rotimi Agboola Anu, product manager, LFD Solutions, Samsung Electronic West Africa Limited, said that Samsung is delighted to be part that will definitely rejig SMSs in the Nigerian schools, adding that the recent developments in display technology have opened new avenues of information sharing and presentation for education and business applications.
“Large format display is leading to the replacement of traditional projectors. Interactive e-Boards in meeting rooms and classrooms are enabling teachers and executives to use creative, collaborative methods to present and distribute information.
“Even touch display technology is becoming commonplace, providing stimulating new ways to attract and hold the attention of audiences, whether in a classroom or business environment. So, we in Samsung Electronics West Africa deemed it wise to be part of the Proxynet’s project to ensure that our schools become like others. The technologies we have displayed today are well suited to support various learning and business applications.
“Educational facilities are considering touch display technology to improve student learning and provide high quality, efficient company presentations. Educators and business executives require enhanced interactivity between facilities and participants”.
Also speaking, Barnabas Olaleye, technology manager, Samsung IT Solution, West Africa Limited, added that creating the ultimate learning environment is now a possible with the benefits of a large screen display that delivers the functionality and power of a touch screen computer.
He gave the specifications of the e-Board to include a 65 inches display capacity with 1920 by 1080 (16.9) resolution, with inch option of 65”/70” and ultimately for classroom management, while the ProSkool solution contains features that enable email to parents, proper management of staff roll, a click to view student billing status, and importantly, monitoring of student’s class progress, among other veritable features.

Expert Urges FG to Harmonise NIN, BVN to Tackle Crimes
Noble Ajuonu, head, Sydani Technologies Ltd., has urged the Federal Government to harmonise National Identification Number (NIN) and Bank Verification Number (BVN) to tackle crimes and insecurity in the country.
Ajuonu made the call at a media roundtable, organised by Sydani Group in Abuja.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the roundtable focuses on driving sustainability through a comprehensive analysis of Nigeria’s key development areas.
Ajuonu said that Nigeria could overcome its security challenges and pave the way for a safer, more secure future for all Nigerians by embracing technology and implementing practical solutions,
“We need to harmonise data, prioritise seamless integration of databases like NIN, BVN, and security agency records, establish clear protocols for data sharing and access, with robust safeguards against misuse,’’ expert said.
According to him, the unified data pool will empower intelligence gathering and targeted operations.
He also called for investments in smart surveillance, intelligent video analytics software, training of personnel in data analysis, interpretation of data in real-time to combat crimes.
“There is need to implement a legal framework for call interception in criminal investigations, with strict oversight to prevent abuse, encourage community cohesion, training of tech savvy security personnel with tech-enabled tools.’’
Ajuonu also urged the government to address infrastructure deficit in technology, saying that technology was all encompassing to address insecurity.
“According to the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), as of December 2023, only 104.2 million Nigerians had been enrolled for the National Identity Number (NIN).’’
Ajuonu added that over 122.2 million citizens left uncaptured for NIN were people in rural areas where enrolment centres, digital services were limited.
“Most crimes are being perpetuated from rural communities and this lack of comprehensive identification creates a gap where elements not captured in the national database can constitute public nuisance, crimes.
“There is the inadequacy in the integration of NIN, BVN and Voters Identification Number (VIN).
“Advanced call interception and analysis tools, used successfully in other countries, could provide invaluable insights into criminal networks and operations but infrastructure is lacking,’’ he said.
Also, Mr Godfrey Petgrave, the Agricultural Expert, Sydani Group, called for empowerment of smallholder farmers with access to finance and training to enhance productivity.
According to Petgrave, Nigeria requires policy reform and institutional strengthening to improve agricultural practices and embrace digital agriculture solutions to address food insecurity.
Mr Akolade Jimoh, another expert of the group on health, advocated for expanded community-based health insurance programmes for rural and underserved areas.
Jimoh added that the country needed to encourage Public Private Partnership to revolutionise products design and quality improvement on health services.
