Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, has congratulated Prince Nduka Obaigbena, Chairman of ARISE & THISDAY Media Group, on the successful launch of the homegrown social media platform, LekeeLekee.
In a letter dated February 16, 2026, Governor Sani described the unveiling of the platform as a landmark achievement for Nigeria and the African continent.
According to him, the launch of LekeeLekee — now available on the App Store, Google Play, the web, and as a Progressive Web App — represents more than the introduction of a new digital platform. He noted that it marks the emergence of an African-owned social media ecosystem tailored to local realities and underserved communities.
The governor commended the initiative for offering low-data, high-speed feeds, voice-enabled messaging, community groups, and structured moderation, stating that the platform responds to a longstanding need for technology built within the African context.
Sani further praised Obaigbena’s commitment to media freedom and democratic development, noting that the launch of the app challenges global dominance in digital content distribution while amplifying authentic African voices.
He said the platform holds significant promise for Nigeria’s youthful and digitally savvy population, with potential long-term benefits for innovation, entrepreneurship, civic engagement, and cultural expression.
On behalf of the Kaduna State Government and its residents, Governor Sani pledged support and partnership as the platform expands its reach across Africa and beyond.
