X started his life in the UK, over X years ago - travelling from Nigeria on a government scholarship to do marine engineering. After, he changed careers to pursue social work before finally deciding to retire.

But X wasn't happy sitting at home, so he decided to start a course in automotive engineering.

While he had access to a computer at his local library, he didn't have a device to continue his work at home. Thankfully, he came across Riverside Learning and Education Centre, a National Digital Inclusion Network hub based in Liverpool.
