Ghana News Agency (GNA) is now available through the free mobile application biNu as it bids to reach the large mobile audience.
biNu is compatible with low-end web connected devices as well as those using the Android operating system and has proved popular in multiple markets around the world.
It currently has five million users around the world, with 1.6 million in Africa.
Bernard Otabil, chief executive officer (CEO) of GNA, said: “We chose biNu as a platform for our news applications as it works very efficiently on a wide range of phones, including entry level phones and on all Android devices. Also, development of the application was extremely quick and simple.”
GNA was established in 1957 and is the primary source of news in the country.
Jeremy George, biNu’s vice president for Africa, said: “biNu is proud to be working with such a well-established and nationally and internationally respected news agency.
“The GNA fits in well with our policy of making outstanding and compelling local content available to the millions of biNu’s members.”
HumanIPO revealed yesterday biNu had signed a deal Etisalat Nigeria to bring its application to its 15 million subscribers.
