The UK Government, through its Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office's Digital Access Programme, has inaugurated the Siun Community Self-Built Connectivity Hub in Obafemi Owode Local Government Area, Ogun State. This hub is one of ten community-centred connectivity hubs supported by the UK Government to expand digital inclusion in underserved Nigerian communities. The initiative adopts a community-led model to provide affordable internet access, enhance digital skills, and create economic opportunities, with local communities owning and managing the hubs. Grace Bell, First Secretary for Economic Partnership at the FCDO, represented the UK Government at the event, highlighting the hub as a demonstration of community ownership's power.
