Meet Rosemary Njoku. She Runs Facebook WiFi Express Stand In Lagos

Meet Rosemary Njoku. She Runs Facebook WiFi Express Stand In Lagos 1

Mark Zuckerberg this evening stopped by an Express WiFi stand in Lagos owned by Rosemary Njoku.

Facebook’s WiFi express let’s entrepreneurs like Rosemary set up a hot spot to help their community access apps and services built by local developers.

Mark Zuckerberg wrote on his Facebook page:

This is Rosemary Njoku. I just met Rosemary at the Facebook Express Wi-Fi stand she runs in Lagos. 

Express Wi-Fi empowers entrepreneurs to build a business by providing their community with access to the internet. Facebook designed the technology, and local internet providers add the connectivity. Express Wi-Fi is part of our Internet.org initiative.


Rosemary already had a business before she also started selling Express Wi-Fi as well, but she told me she now has 3,000 customers and makes much more money from Express Wi-Fi. She’s a great example of how local entrepreneurs spread internet access around the world.

This week, we’re launching a satellite into space to enable more entrepreneurs across Africa to sell Express Wi-Fi and more people to access reliable internet. That means more connectivity and more opportunity for entrepreneurs like Rosemary everywhere.
