The tech start-up which is designed to inculcate and promote the habit of savings in users while earning interest, said it wants to increase its user base from 10000 to 20, 000 by leveraging more technology and customer-centric services. CEO of the firm, Mr. Sydney Aigbogun, said they are investing hugely in secured technology to ensure that their customers get improved quality services which would help their growth and double the registered users before the year runs out. He said the company rewards its customers as much as 15 percent annually while allowing users save as low as N100. Aigbogun explained that the reason for the establishment of the tech start-up firm is to encourage the habit of savings in an economy that has been challenged by falling disposable income and low purchasing power, so as to enable them cushion effect of shocks from arising unforeseen circumstances. He said: “There are three than 170,000 U-Reporters aged 13-24 years old participated in the poll including young people from Nigeria, Albania, Bangladesh, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Ecuador, France, Gambia, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Iraq, Jamaica, Kosovo, Liberia, Malawi, Malaysia, Mali, Moldova, Montenegro, Myanmar, Romania, Sierra Leone, Trinidad & Tobago, Ukraine, Vietnam and Zimbabwe. UNICEF Executive Director, Henrietta Fore, said the major reason for the overwhelming result is because connected classrooms mean school no longer ends once a student leaves class, and, unfortunately, neither does schoolyard bullying. She said through the poll, young people were asked via SMS and instant messaging technology a series of questions relating to their experiences of online bullying and violence, where it most frequently happens, and who they think is responsible for ending it. The report has it that 32 percent of those polled believe governments should be responsible for ending cyber bullying, 31 percent said young people and 29 percent said internet companies.

We are in this together and we must share the responsibility in partnership.
