Nigerian Technology Brand, VEDA introduces its Student and Corpers’ Laptop, Internet and Content Scheme (SLIC)

As part of its goal to empower and equip 100,000 students and youth corp members in 2013, emerging technology industry brand, VEDA, introduces its Student and Corpers’ Laptop, Internet and Content Scheme (SLIC), an initiative geared towards students in schools and graduates during their National Youth Service with the aim of empowering them with the 2 most important tools of the 21st century – a computer and internet access.

VEDA has partnered with GTBank Plc, MTN Nigeria, Standard Alliance Insurance, Microsoft, Jobberman and Intel Nigeria, to provide students and youth corp members with a VEDA laptop, Windows 8 OS, MTN 3G Internet Modem with 1 Month internet access, 1 year warranty, 1 year accidental damage insurance and apps including Jobberman’s premium services as well as a laptop bag financed by GTBank Plc.

Youth corp members should provide their Bio Data, Call Up ID Number and open a GTBank account to apply and receive the product bundle while students only need a working sponsor or guarantor to co-apply.
