A final-year student at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kessben Antwi, has developed a mobile application to provide errand services.

The app, which is called SomaMe (meaning 'send me on an errand' in Twi), would allow errand runners to monetise their service on a digital platform.

"Payments are made every morning to the Errander's provided mobile money or bank account. The Company deducts a 16.7% service fee from successful Bids, and the remaining 83.3% is paid to the Errander. Payments are facilitated through Pay stack," portions of the post read.

Kessben Antwi, who is studying Telecommunications Engineering at KNUST, is also using the SomaMe App to create employment opportunities for his peers on campus.

The app is currently live and available on the Google Play Store and App Store for users to download.
