Joseph Jibril Robinson, Gambian data computer scientist, has invented a mobile app dubbed Internet Village that seeks to create five hundred thousand job opportunities in The Gambia.
Joseph’s multimillion dalasi project comes after his tedious research project which he said can earn added value to the country economy, and “we want to assist the Government through all forms to connect all Gambians online by the year 2030 through the visions of the United Nations Development Goals.”
According to him, the project gears toward providing job opportunities for youth and to discourage irregular migration which is still common among Gambian youth over the past years since war breakout in Libya.
“This project is a Social Media Networking Software that translates Internet Digital Codes into raw material online to generate Digital Currencies. This is not new, but it’s still reliable and available to a community that doesn’t have any digital skills,” he told The Voice.
“This project was done based on a nationwide tour, we saw how Gambia was designed with our digital sustainable community development, and the internet village requests a clear statistic to prove our numbers are correct.
“I developed this project because thousands of my fellow youths have been grappling to go Europe through the back way and some have died as results of risking their lives to swim through the Mediterranean Sea to get to Italy and Spain. We can stop this, by giving a Job to every smartphone user through this project. The simple task to generate these funds is to stay online on our Internet Village Project Wealth App,” he added.
“I can prove to anyone that this project can generate over $148,800,000 per 365 days into Gambian pockets, and develop the African Digital Economy starting from the smallest African Nation, The Gambia. This website and mobile app will also contribute towards the creation of evidence –based policies and strategies within relevant sectors and government departments. This plan has worked it’s time to give it to 500,000 Gambians for a start. This will create the biggest job the internet and world will see or have ever heard,” he expressed positivity.
