Internet Village Limited (IVL) which was launched in the Gambia has diverted its course and relocated its Headquarters to Nigeria following what the CEO of the company described as a betrayal by Gambians for rejecting their innovation.
In an interview with this medium, Jubril Joseph Robinson, the Chief Executive Officer of Internet Village Limited The Gambia said his company came up with a suggestion that it is time to try elsewhere than the Gambia after failure to embrace their innovation in this era of innovation.
“Nigerians will focus because the Gambian people have a mentality of promise and fail. It’s better not to promise because the needy depend on the promise, but better to say we can help in the future,” CEO Robinson sarcastically told this medium yesterday.
According to the CEO of IVL Robinson, the company has engaged the Gambian government, local authorities, private Sectors, and development workers among a host of key players with the idea of working together in sustaining the company in the country but there was no realistic and workable plan to embrace their idea forcing the company to relocate its headquarters to Nigeria.
“We have never received any single feedback, support, grant, funding, or even encouragement from the above-mentioned groups,” he said while alleging the country of downplaying the company’s innovation
