It is no news that Africa is taking steps towards the fast track of digitization. Indigenous IT organizations and individuals are making effort to create applications to cater for local needs in their various locations.

It is easy and straight forward to sign up to Nzuko.

This will create awareness amongst people and also instill in the users trust for the firm or the developer as to accept other software products from them in the near future.
The site was launched on the 6th of May, 2020 and over 100 individuals and schools have signed up on the platform. I have myself…
