Facebook Founder Arrives In Nigeria

Mike Zuckerberg, the Billionaire founder of Facebook and one of the

world's most prolific social media sites, arrived in Nigeria today

according to numerous eyewitness accounts.
Mr. Zuckerberg and his wife were in Rome, Italy this week while he met

with the Pope and enjoyed some local tourist attractions. From Italy, it

is now known, he traveled to Nigeria.
The first photos to emerge from this unannounced visit are of him meeting

with tech entrepreneurs and youth in Yaba, Lagos. Yaba is considered to be

the tech center of Nigeria and houses numerous creative spaces and tech

start-ups.
It will be recalled that Facebook and Mr. Zuckerberg's own philanthropy

has increasingly focused its attention to the continent of Africa. The

Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative invested heavily in Andela, a tech and coding

company providing training to young tech engineers has generating a lot of

buzz in Nigeria and Africa more generally. Facebook is also holding

workshops for tech developers this month in Nigeria, Kenya, and South

Africa.
Mr. Zuckerberg delivered some brief remarks at the Co-Creation hub in Yaba

expressing an interest in learning more about the entrepreneurial space

and activities in Nigeria.
