Meanwhile, founder of Anakle, Editi Effiong, has said he empowered every child in his community with the requisite computer skills to be relevant in modern society.
He made this known on Twitter while replying a tweep who challenged him for raising concerns over the development index in Lagos.
The tweep told him to compare the level of development in Lagos state with his village and say which is better.
In response, the techpreneur said he ensured that every primary school pupil in his village can use a computer. Editi also said that they are taught how to code and have access to the internet.
He shared photos to backup his claim and wrote; ”My village has running water. But the most important development index for me is that every child attending primary school there can use a computer, has internet access and has learned to code. I made that happen. Now, tell me how you developed your village.”
