She said “We had an incident that happened to us, we have a friend with Imo State University, Owerri, she was going to class one morning and she didn’t know the class was cancelled, so she went to the class and on her way coming back she had an accident and died, so based on that and our own personal experiences that was how Tita came about.
“We have two benefits of the app, we have the Value side and the Business side. The Value side is where students get first hand information about their course schedules and activities. They have their course materials, academic calendar and others.
“The business side of it, is that Tita Universal Services Limited is actually not using the students data, we are leveraging on traffic that is being generated on the application to make money, we are trying to get cooperate endorsement, sponsorship from banks and other institutions.
“The application is for free both to the instructors and the students, they are not paying anything, in return we are the one paying them money”.
According to the company’s secretary, this is the official launch of the application, noting that there are over 1500 students using the application in Maiduguri and Imo State Universities.
