It was indeed a very good outing for Nigeria at the 2015 Apps Africa Innovation Awards with Nigerian innovations featuring prominently in 7 out of 10 categories. Panelists at the 2015 Apps Africa Award were faced with the herculean task of selecting the most innovative apps from over 200 entries that were sent from across 21 countries. The award is being sponsored by Uber, AppsWorld and Monday South Africa. Congratulations to all the finalists.
