A 22-year-old man Oluwatobi Shokunbi, yesterday in Abuja, trained no fewer than 90 youths on how to build a mobile application through phones using a framework called “reactnative”.

“Reactnative” is a framework for building mobile applications such as windows, android and IOS.
“We want to empower Nigerian youths, because a training of this nature is what every youth involved will be benefiting from.’’
According to him, the trainees will be able to leverage on the skills they have acquired to start making money and be useful to the society instead of depending on white collar jobs.
He said the workshop was designed to train Nigerian youths to make mobile application and network because technology businesses were all about networking.
Shotunbi said that the training was the first of its kind in Nigeria and Abuja in particular, adding that the training would be replicated across the country.
According to him, he has built user-friendly mobile apps for some government agencies for ease of doing business; and called on the youths to take advantage of the tech world to make a living.
“For everything we do now, we want to have mobile apps because it makes things easy for us and faster, so that is what we are training the youths to do, to develop mobile apps.
Shotunbi also said that Nigerian youths could reap bountifully from building mobile applications because it was undoubtedly a profitable venture.
Abdulrasaq Imam, one of the speakers at the workshop and a Software Engineer with Veerdant Agrictech said that mobile app had been developed for farmers in part of the country to help in their farming business.
