mark zuckerberg in Kenya

He took most Nigerians by surprise when he paid the country a visit about two days ago and met with entrepreneurs and local developers – the Facebook CEO, as he did when arriving the country, has done the same thing as he, this afternoon landed quietly in Nairobi, Kenya.

He shared this via his official page fem moments ago:

“Just landed in Nairobi! I’m here to meet with entrepreneurs and developers, and to learn about mobile money — where Kenya is the world leader.

I’m starting at a place called iHub, where entrepreneurs can build and prototype their ideas. Two of the engineers I met — Fausto and Mark — designed a system to help people use mobile payments to buy small amounts of cooking gas, which is a lot safer and better for the environment than charcoal or kerosene. It’s inspiring to see how engineers here are using mobile money to build businesses and help their community.”
