A new ICT App that is designed to put Akwa Ibom in the global technology map is set to be unveiled in Uyo, the state capital on Tuesday
A statement signed by the Executive Director Operations, ViaNile Global Operations, US based Technology Expert Mr. Atai Albert, and made available to newsmen in Uyo said that the All-In-One digital application would afford users the luxury of Instant Messaging, Video Conferencing & Streaming.
Albert said the new application would also in addition turn a smart phone into a walkie talkie, create store and sell, virtual workplace and workgroup, marketplace with endless capabilities, adding that nothing like this has ever happened in the technology world.
“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.
