Facebook Owner-mark Zuckerberg Visit To Nigeria- Host A Q&A Session Today by rowels: 10:07am On Aug 31, 2016
The founder of Facebook,Mark Zuckerberg, is visiting Nigeria for a few days. He was at the Co-Creation Hub (CcHub), Yaba, Lagos on Tuesday where he engaged with students and was marveled at children coding and sharing ideas


Today, Zuckerberg is expected to host a Q&A session sharing Facebook’s strategic plans in Africa’s largest economy. Though the visit is part of a series of global town hall meetings, Facebook’s strong ties with Nigeria cannot be ignored.

Nigeria has 16 million people visiting the social media platform monthly, and has remained Facebook’s biggest market in Africa. In a bid to further grow that market, Facebook launched its FreeBasics service in Nigeria in May. Targeting a bulk of the population who cannot afford internet access, the service will allow users to access Facebook as well as other listed websites at no cost.


According to Seni Sulyman, director of Andela Lagos -which Raised USD24 Million From Mark Zuckerberg And His Wife Priscilla Chan -Zuckerberg’s visit “reinforces not only his support of Andela’s mission, but his belief that indeed the next generation of great technology leaders will come out of Lagos, Nigeria and cities across Africa.”
