Conclusion The exposure of SlopAds underscores the growing sophistication of mobile ad fraud. While Google Play Protect and takedowns help reduce risks, both users and advertisers must stay vigilant. Users should regularly update devices and uninstall suspicious apps. Advertisers must strengthen fraud detection systems to avoid losses. As mobile advertising expands, combating fraud remains critical for ensuring trust, transparency, and security in the digital ecosystem.

Google has announced a new initiative to provide free one-year AI Pro subscriptions to college students in Nigeria and seven other African countries, part of its ongoing investments in Africa’s digital transformation.

The program will roll out first in:

Nigeria

Ghana

Kenya

Egypt

Morocco

South Africa

Rwanda

Zimbabwe

Eligible students aged 18 and above will gain access to advanced AI tools, including:

  • Deep Research – delivering custom research reports from hundreds of sources
  • Gemini 2.5 Pro – designed to support writing, academic work, and productivity

Google says the initiative aims to equip Africa’s next generation with world-class skills for the AI-driven global economy.

Google’s Investments in AI and Education

In a statement, Google highlighted its broader commitment to youth empowerment and education:

  • Over 7 million Africans have received digital skills training through Google’s programs
  • Another 3 million are expected to be trained by 2030
  • More than $17 million in funding, curriculum support, and AI access has been provided to African universities and research institutions in the past four years
  • An additional $9 million will be deployed in the coming year

These efforts align with Google’s goal of making Africa a global hub for digital innovation and AI adoption.

Boosting Connectivity Through Subsea Cables

Beyond education, Google also announced plans to establish four new subsea cable hubs across Africa, north, south, east, and west.

These hubs will enhance the company’s Africa Connect program, which includes:

  • Equiano cable – running along Africa’s west coast
  • Umoja fiber route – linking Kenya to Australia

Google estimates that Equiano alone will contribute significantly to Africa’s economies in 2025:

  • $11.1 billion to Nigeria’s GDP
  • $5.8 billion to South Africa’s GDP
  • $290 million to Namibia’s GDP

According to Alex Okosi, Google’s Managing Director for Africa, the initiative is a unified investment into Africa’s next generation, combining AI education, digital tools, and advanced connectivity.
