On his first trip to sub-Saharan Africa Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has made a surprise visit to Nigeria, Africa’s most populace nation (170-milllion people) and Facebook’s FB -0.56% largest market with 16-million users.
“This is my first trip to sub-Saharan Africa,” Zuckerberg said in a Facebook post. “I’ll be meeting with developers and entrepreneurs, and learning about the startup ecosystem in Nigeria. The energy here is amazing and I’m excited to learn as much as I can.”
“Our first stop is the Co-creation Hub Nigeria (CcHUB) in Yaba. I got to talk to kids at a summer coding camp and entrepreneurs who come to CcHub to build and launch their apps. I’m looking forward to meeting more people here!” Zuckerberg wrote. He has 42-million followers on Facebook.
Yaba is in the capital Lagos and is considered the closest to a Silicon Valley, and is home to CcHUB, which wrote on its Facebook page: “We were Mark Zuckerberg’s FIRST STOP on his FIRST TRIP EVER to Sub-Saharan Africa. Can you beat that??? Awesome time hosting a genuine world changer…”
