@NaaAnyoko: Access to data and internet isn’t Africa’s challenge anymore. The challenge is carrying that access from where it lands on our coasts to an ATM, a security camera, a home, or business.

@NaaAnyoko: The challenge is in people’s ability to own a smart device and pay for connectivity. It’s great for us to focus on the internet, but people need to be able to generate an income to pay for these things.

@NaaAnyoko: Our education system is a huge game changer for Africa and a way for us to position ourselves in this new digital world. We have the largest number of young people in the world and they need to be taught how to be solution creators so we don’t just consume foreign apps but that we create our own apps that best meet our needs, and we tell our own story about the wonderful things Africa has to offer.
