A budding Ghanaian app developer Francis Onuman has decried the lack of interest in apps that are Ghanaian centered.
The 21 year old developer made this remark when he released his second app the ‘Mascot Jump’ on Google app store recently.
Quizzed on his motivation for this free app (Mascot Jump game) , he explained that, he had earlier created ‘Aduane’ app, a Ghanaian inspired app that offered a step by step tutorial for over a hundred local and contemporary Ghanaians recipes for those in the diaspora but was shocked how poorly the app fared on Windows store.
He was however quick to add that perhaps he didn’t use the right approach. So this time, he has decided to employ the ‘app for all’ approach with this new app.
Francis who doubles as co-founder of Cervolant (software developing start-up) noted that, information technology, IT, is key in the liberation of Ghana and Africa at large and advised the youth to embrace IT which is currently a ripe opportunity when considering a career in this age.
He also urged Ghanaians in and outside the country to patronize Ghanaian products in which ever form to encourage production as efforts to save the country’s ailing economy as is being trumpeted daily by local and international media.
