Nigerian entrepreneur invent smart book

Mavis pen is a digital device with a high technology translating tool that synchronizes with notes on the talking book . The entrepreneur believes its immense contribution to education cannot be underestimated as its uses cut across pronunciation, translation and large storage capacity among others.
Demonopolization of Ethiopian telecom

Major telecommunications firms like South Africa’s MTN and Vodacom have already expressed their interest in acquiring a stake in Ethio Telecom following the government’s announcement.
