The project was launched on the 1st of February, 2016 by AUN founder, former vice president Atiku Abubakar in and Adamawa State Governor Mohammed Umaru Jubrilla in Yola.
TELA is charged towards teaching basic literacy and numeracy to vulnerable children. The project was sponsored by United States Agency for International Development (USAID), which aim is to give about 22,000 refugee children valuable education, as reported.
It is expected that TELA will reach more than 22,000 beneficiaries in Adamawa State since radio is a common medium of mass communication in the north. Radio and tablet computers will be used as part of the instructional teaching content in the program.
President Ensign announced that the US government gave $801,000 to fund the project and AUN has been tasked to prove that this pilot scheme is scalable. If it succeeds, it will be replicated across Nigeria, he added.
