Reducing surplus sports gear is directly correlated with creating more opportunities for kids who need sports equipment.

@passbackofficial is working to close the gap between the two.

Throwback to Project 9–12, 3rd Edition!

The real impact of Project 9–12 is best told by the students who experienced it firsthand!

We asked students from participating schools about their experiences, what surprised them the most, what they learned, and how they felt about the initiative. Their responses captured the excitement, appreciation, and impact of bringing technology, environmental sustainability, and sports together.

A big thank you to our partners, sponsors, and everyone who made the third edition of Project 9–12 a success. Your support continues to make a difference!

We are already planning the fourth edition, and we're making it bigger!

Would you love your school to participate? Is your organisation interested in partnering with us to create greater impact?

Let's make greater impact together!

I’m not usually the person anchoring an event. In fact, when we were preparing for Project 9-12, I was only meant to give the opening remarks, welcome our special guests, and hand over to someone else. But yesterday, I found myself anchoring the event from beginning to end. 😂

Looking back, I think God has been preparing me for moments like this, I return all the glory to HIM ❤️. From my earlier experience teaching pupils to the school tours I’ve facilitated with @justusedtech , I’ve gradually become more comfortable speaking, engaging people, and holding a room. What felt unfamiliar at first became an experience I genuinely enjoyed. And seeing the event come together beautifully, with our partners enjoying themselves and new partnership conversations already opening up, made it even more rewarding.

A special thank you to Mrs. @titilayo_oshodi , Special Adviser to the Lagos State Governor on Climate Change and Circular Economy, the @lasepaofficial team, @ecobarter , and all our partners who helped make Project 9-12 a success. It was a reminder that when people believe in an idea and come together to support it, something meaningful can happen.

Overall, I can’t do without mentioning our founder, Mr. @teetobee who is always pushing me to never give up, always encouraging me and the @justusedtech team to be the best version of ourselves. Like he always says, “THE SKY IS BIG ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE TO FLY”. Thank you sir 🙏🏽

Still taking it all in, but one thing is certain: sometimes, growth looks like being asked to do something you’ve never done before and finding the courage to do it anyway. ❤️

PROJECT 9-12: Technology, Sports & Sustainability in Action 💻⚽

On October 7, 2026, the third edition of Project 9-12 by JustUsed Tech, in collaboration with Passback, brought together technology, sports and the values of SDG 9 and SDG 12.

Ten schools joined us for a day of learning, connection, sports and opportunities.

Despite the rain, the excitement never stopped! Students participated in sessions on circular economy, environmental sustainability and responsible digital citizenship, gaining practical knowledge on how technology and environmental responsibility can shape their communities.

Each participating school received a laptop from JustUsed Tech to support access to technology and help bridge the digital divide. Sports gear was also provided, while LASEPA presented souvenirs to students.

The day came alive with a novelty football and volleyball match between Team Red and Team White, delivered in collaboration with Arrows Sports and Education. The stadium was filled with cheering, laughter and healthy competition.

We were honoured to welcome Mrs. Titilayo Oshodi, Mrs. Olabisi Shonibare of LASEPA, Mrs. Roseline Idehai of Ecobarter, representatives of Lagos State Education District IV, and other guests.

A special appreciation to Titobi Oreolorun for the vision behind JustUsed Tech and for creating initiatives that connect technology with people, communities with opportunities.

Thank you to Passback for supporting Project 9-12 with sports gear, and to Ecobarter, LASEPA and Arrows Sports and Education for contributing to this edition.

To every school, teacher, volunteer, partner, guest and student — thank you!

Project 9-12 is only the beginning.
