<h1>Eko-Konnect wins award to connect to University of Jos</h1>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div>
<p>Eko-Konnect has won an award to connect the University of Lagos to the University of Jos and the National Film Institute as part of the establishment of a World Bank/STEP-B assisted <a title="MMCINE" href="http://www.mmcine.org.ng/" target="_blank">Center of Excellence in Multimedia Technology and Cinematography. </a></p>
<p>The tender attracted several high profile companies but competitiveness, the expansion of the growing research and education and its implication on the efforts to establish the Nigeria REN (ngREN) were strong arguments in favour of the metropolitan network. Establishing this link through Eko-Konnect adds value to the Center of Excellence because it expands the collaboration from 2 institutions to all the members of the network.</p>
<p>The link will be used to support project communication between the collaborators, for video-conferencing and access to e-Learning platforms hosted in Lagos. It is expected to go live by the end of June.</p></div>
