A 300-Level Sociology student at Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University Lapai (IBBUL), Abdullahi Suleiman Babangida has developed an app called “Class Mate”.
The app was developed with the aim of facilitating student to lecturer communication, aid information dissemination, ease the stress of study and also get students well-attuned to campus life.
According to Babangida, he was motivated to build the app in 100-Level due to inadequate means of communication between lecturers and students.
I decided to create the Class Mate app which would enable lecturers have direct contact with students without necessarily passing through the class rep,” he said.
The app, according to him, has many features which include a campus map, which would direct new students without physically asking for directions, a complaints section on university issues, among others.
“I see the Class Mate app all over Nigerian universities and Africa at large in years to come because it is a life changing app,” he added.
