Empowering Iba, One Digital Skill At A Time — The Actoras Kicks Off CSR Journey With TechUpNaija
Purpose met execution in Iba, Lagos, as The Actoras, a new CSR and impact strategy firm, made its official debut by leading the successful rollout of TechUpNaija: Iba Edition, a community-centered digital literacy training powered by Seraph Public Relations and Media in collaboration with Othello Institute of Technology, Avalanche, and hosted by the Oniba of Iba Kingdom.
The three-day initiative, held on June 16th, 18th, and 20th, equipped over 150 young people and elderly entrepreneurs in Iba with practical digital skills in social media marketing, computer literacy, Canva design, and cybersecurity awareness. The program was hosted by His Royal Majesty, Oba (Dr.) Sulaimon Adeshina Raji (Ashade I) and took place at both the Oniba’s Palace and the Iba LCDA ICT Centre.
This project marks the first official activation by The Actoras, a company committed to helping brands and organizations turn their social impact ideas into real, measurable action.
“This is what purpose-driven action looks like,” said Judah Kolawole, Founder of The Actoras. “We exist to help companies bring their CSR visions to life in ways that are intentional, impactful, and people-focused. It’s an honour to have Seraph PR trust us with this debut.”
Participants were trained in WhatsApp Business, Facebook, and Instagram marketing. They also learnt how to use Microsoft Word & Excel for everyday business tasks, and cybersecurity basics to stay protected online. Beyond the skills, the energy and commitment from attendees proved that digital inclusion is not a privilege, it’s a right.
Testimonials poured in, with many elderly entrepreneurs expressing how eye-opening the experience was: “I had doubts at first when I saw the flyer,” said Owolabi Aderemi, a local trader. “But I came and now I know how to promote my products using my phone.”
“I learnt a lot, especially Canva and marketing,” added Abibat Olamide. “The tutors and the organizers did an amazing job.”
Standout participants were celebrated with tech gifts and cash prizes, encouraging them to continue applying what they learned to grow their businesses and livelihoods.
