In a bid to become a powerhouse in terms of technology and entrepreneurship in Africa, President Paul Kagame of Rwanda has given a go ahead to Andela’s partnership proposal.  Kagame’s administration agreed to work together with the talent accelerator to set up a software development hub in Kigali. Another win for Andela. A major step in the right direction for Rwanda.
