So barely 24 hours after meeting with Catholic Pontiff, Pope Francis at The Vatican, Facebook founder visits Nigeria. Dressed in his famous round-neck and jeans, it did feel like another day in the office.
It was his first visit to sub-saharan Africa. Guess where his first port of call is? No, not Aso Villa to meet President Buhari or Alausa where Gov, Ambode leads the city from.
Mark navigated through the maze of Lagos traffic from the Airport to tech innovation nerve centr...e, CC Hub. For the uninitiated, there is only one curious question; what exactly is CC Hub about?

My first time at CC Hub was 2015 on the invitation of Wecyclers, a brilliant waste recycling startup. It was a magical experience for me. It gave me hope for Nigeria and revealed what innovative solutions young Nigerians are using to solve Nigerian problems using technology driven solutions. Since then, I have learnt of other CC Hub inspired tech startups like BudgIT, Mamalette, Go My Way etc
