Chief Operating Officer of the multi-million dollars ViaNile Digital Application Mr Itai Albert has said that with its latest features, the new digital application would soon rival older digital applications in Africa.
Albert said at the unveiling of ViaNile in Uyo yesterday that the new application was built for the African society as it was designed to accommodate a low bandwidth regime.
The US based technology expert said that ViaNile “is a digital container with multiple digital activities” capable of enhancing and providing digital solutions to a variety and wide range of human activities and endeavours that older applications have not provided.
“ViaNile is more than a social media application but a digital container in the social media space.The application is built with African continent in mind as it requires a much lower bandwidth for good connectivity in Africa.
“For once we now have a digital enterprise application that puts Africa first by correcting over 300 years misinformation of our people, our continent and what we truly represent.The philosophy behind ViaNile is to use the wealth created in Africa to directly empower Africans to have a foot hold on the emerging digital economy.
“A good percentage of the profit from ViaNile will be used to fund start-ups across African continent while also training young Africans in the development of emerging technologies like Video Conferencing, Instant Messaging, Payment Gateways, browsers, app stores, Cyber security and also help in the deployment of these companies to use their skills.
“Our target is that within a short time, ViaNile will be the main source of information on Africa, Africans and amongst the Diaspora population. We are out to change the narrative about Africa and Africans once and for all,” Executive Director of Operations, ViaNile Global Operations.”Albert explained.
He explained that his intention of bringing it home to Akwa Ibom was also to expose the people to the potentials embedded in the and to generate employment opportunities that can attract remunerations of global standards.
In a good will message, Senate Committee chairman on Oil and Gas, Senator Bassey Albert said, ViaNile has latest facilities to rival and overtake other technological giants, describing it as an emerging technological hub.
”From my experience I can attest that technology has taken over the world. During CVOD-19 Lockdown, most activities were done online and through virtual application. In the gas industry, most companies like Chevron shed off about 80 per cent staffers’ strength. In fact, most staffers in the oil industry work in their houses.” Bassey said.
He announced his intention to run for the governorship of Akwa Ibom State in 2023 and to use ViaNile in launching his campaign and courting followers saying, “I can attract 500,000 to one million followers at a time to boost my governorship ambition.’’
