Mark Zuckerberg meets Buhari, Osinbajo in Abuja.


Once more, the founder of FACEBOOK pulls another unannounced visit to the capital of Nigeria, Abuja to meet the leadership of the country to participate in the Demo Day. He had this to share with us on his page.


"Last stop of my trip: I'm in Abuja to meet Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice PresidentYemi Osinbajo.

We all met with entrepreneurs as part of Demo Day, an initiative for the Nigerian government to fund entrepreneurs with ideas for improving the country. We heard from engineers who are finding ways to reward people for recycling, designing ways to pick up trash easier, and using shuttles to improve commutes in Lagos. 

This has been an inspiring trip. The energy and entrepreneurship in Nigeria and Kenya is amazing. I can't wait to come back again soon!''

#zuckinabuja may not be trending that much like #zuckinlagos, its a plus that such an investor intends to make a MARK in a country like Nigeria and Kenya. This two country is doing a lot with the available ministries and ministers to push Africa into the global race for technological sustenance of the economy via the DNS-industry.

Kudos to Mark and like-minds.
