Speaking to Yagbon News on May, 14, 2021, Mr Banasco said that the first set of 50 brand new laptops have arrived awaiting distributing to students.
According to him, he was called upon by the tertiary students in the constituency during the 2020 general elections campaign period where the students demanded for laptops to aid them in their learning admist covid-19 outbreak in the world.
He promised of supporting the students with the laptops when given the nod to represent the constituency as the MP.

He said he wants to encourage the online learning more because we are in a digital world hence sharing the laptops.
“In my quest to improve education and easy learning amongst students in the area a satellite internet was sponsored by CISCO in Spain with Yaclick from Dubai as internet service provider had connected all computer laboratories to Internet established by my NGO and partners from Spain to enable students get access to Internet connectivity to improve in the area of online studies”, he told Yagbon News.
According to him over 300 tertiary students are expected to benefit from the project with 50 students to benefit from the first phase.
The distribution would be done in phases and urged all tertiary students in the constituency to remain calm and wait for the other phases to also receive their laptops, Banasco added.
