‘Blockchain technology to provide jobs, solve problems’

A Pan-African crypto exchange, Mara has said blockchain technologies are capable of creating jobs and bringing innovation that will help the country solve problems.
   
Chief Executive Officer, Mara, Chi Nnadi, made this disclosure at a media session with journalists in Lagos. 
   
Nnadi said Mara is about building an ecosystem for Africa, saying: “We also have to build the infrastructure for people to actually use this technology. Exchanges have been around for a while but exchanges have focused on getting Bitcoin.”  
    

“What we are starting is a movement and how we can build Africa for ourselves. The technology that people are all talking about has the greatest utility here in Nigeria. There needs to be an exchange, blockchain, ecosystem builder that wants to bring in developers, have them build these tools, help them bring capital from all over the world, help them get their apps to other Nigerians, Kenyans, Ghanaians.”
