Abuja, Feb. 27, 2017 (NAN) Boyede Sobitan, Nigerian-American entrepreneur, has launched a new app “OjaExpress’’ for express purchase of food stuff among the African and Caribbean residents in Chicago.
“I’m a Nigerian-American mash-up and CEO and co-founder of OjaExpress, an ethnic grocery delivery app that seeks to eliminate barriers in obtaining ethnic foods for the people who love them’’, Sobitan said on his twitter handle @ojaexpress .
Sobitan witnessed the difficulties Nigerian families living on Chicago’s predominately Black South Side experienced in finding key ingredients for many of their popular dishes.
Coming from a Nigerian family himself, he says he understood the importance of easily accessing those ingredients.
Sobitan saw the problem and felt called to solve it and thus, OjaExpress was born.
The delivery app for African and Caribbean foods was his solution to the lack of cultural grocery stores in Chicago.


Through his new app, Sobitan will be able to connect diaspora delicacies with the people who love them.(NAN)
