This was confirmed today by Red Media which announced that the billionaire is currently at the Co-Creation Hub (CcHub) in Sabo, Yaba.
Here’s what Tech Cabal had said of Zuckerberg’s expected visit:
There’s been a lot of Facebook-related development in Nigeria so there’s a ton of reasons why Mark may be visiting. First, Free Basics launched in Nigeria and Mark showed his support for the Jobberman team. Then the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative invested $24 million in Andela. Also, Facebook’s developer workshop is happening tomorrow, and Facebook is partnering with Cool Link to launch Express Wifi in Lagos some time this week.
In June, we reported that the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative co-owned by Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, announced plans to invest in Andela Inc., a Nigerian owned startup that trains software developers in Lagos, Nigeria and Nairobi, Kenya.
He Said “I am learning about the startup ecosystem in Nigeria. The energy here is amazing and I’m excited to learn as much as I can,” he said in a post on his Facebook page.
Now the Facebook boss has visited Nigeria unannounced
