The Head, Solutions Sales, Nokia, Mr. Praveen Shetty, has said that the company was committed to supporting local developers in building innovative applications on its proprietary platform, the Ovi store. Shetty said this at the monthly MobileMonday meeting held in Lagos.
Most of the participants at the session expressed delight at Nokia’s willingness to avail developers of its platform to build applications for phone users. They believed that this would go a long way in reducing the level of unemployment in the country as young creative developers stood a chance of earning revenue from downloads on Ovi store.
According to him, Nokia’s decision to support developers is based on the need to have a rich ecosystem of exciting locally-built applications to suit the needs of Nigerians. He noted that two months ago, Nokia organised a free three-day training for over 200 Nigerian developers. Via: Punch
