NIGERIAN primary schools will be better off, thanks to the help of the Murdoch University 8ball computer-recycling program.

Guild organisation Student’s Without Borders (SWB) sent a sea container with 130 recycled and refurbished computers to primary schools and other facilities in Lagos, Nigeria last week.

SWB co-ordinator Gerry Georgatos said the container would arrive in Nigeria in six weeks and the schools should have them within two months.

Mr Georgatos said that the latest shipment was sent to Nigeria, after Murdoch residents and Nigerian nationals, Franklin Everett and Wesley Iguodala, approached him.

“We ask the community to continue sending their donations so we can meet orders to students, the Congo, and right throughout WA, including an order of 200 to the Wongai Aboriginal people of Kalgoorlie,” he said.
