Tech firm unveils app to track palliative distribution

Nigerian tech firm, Convexity Technology Limited has unveiled an application that track palliative distribution and donor funding to stipulated beneficiaries.

Adedeji Owonibi, the company’s COO revealed this after a meeting with representatives of the French Embassy in Abuja on Tuesday.

Wakadaily learnt that this would be an excellent way to distribution the palliatives made for poor and needy Nigerians.

Recall that senior special assistant to the Kano state governor, Tasiu Al’amin-Roba, was arrested for alleged diversion of the state’s palliatives.

The Chief Operating Officer noted that the app code-named CHATS allows for end-to-end visibility of funds and aids distribution to the donors, the implementing bodies, and the beneficiaries in an efficient manner.

Owonibi said: “The app is to bring transparency and solutions to the ecosystem. We look at local problems and answer those problems using local solutions.

“For example, one of the latest solutions we built was around palliative distribution. So we know there is a transparency issue and we built a solution that actually gives end-to-end visibility to both the donors, the implementing bodies, and the beneficiaries in a small suite.

For us, aid distribution transparency is key, and apart from that transparency is to give confidence to both local and international donors.

So there is a UK publication that was quoted to have said that Nigeria is so corrupt and it is better to burn money for donations. Still, we spoke to the publication by building a solution that will engender transparency for donors to be able to see where their monies are going.”

Adedeji Owonibi urged the government to consider using the method to regain public trust in the various social net programmes currently implemented by the current administration.
