The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Facebook, Mr Mark Zuckerberg left Nigerian
Wednesday for Kenya to visit the iHub technology hub in Nairobi, the nation’s capital,
reports ITRealms.
He is also expected to meet with developers and partners,
and explore how the country’s pioneering mobile money ecosystem is evolving.
Zuckerberg visit to Kenya forms part of the second leg of
his first-ever African visit which commenced with Nigeria early this week.
He looked forward to learn more about what mobile
entrepreneurs are doing with the latest technologies, and find out how Facebook
could better support small businesses, developers and content creators across
growing markets.
The CEO, ITRealms gathered, was particularly excited to see
how mobile money and social media are driving commerce in the region and
creating new opportunities for entrepreneurs and communities.
One of Zuckerberg’s first stops on the trip was iHub, an
Innovation hub and hacker space started in March 2010 by TED fellow and
entrepreneur, Eric Hersman.
