    “We have not come alone; we are also here with Google. The phone is running on Google Android operating system (OS) and there are Google apps on the phone that make things easy for the students and youths.

    “You will agree with me that many of these students have become content creators and with the YouTube Google apps, it makes creating content and posting about their lifestyles easier for them.

    “We also have the Google maps that help them to navigate their day to day movements within the city and outside.

    “The Itel A70 is very beautiful with a sleek design and has the most interesting functionality that everyone should be using at this time, especially if you want more from a phone but you don’t want to pay so much for it. Itel A70 is the answer to all of that.”

    “When I asked them to come to our school, without hesitation they accepted it and this request is based on the fact that we want to bring social life to the school and also to publicise our school. We call for more vendors to come and invest in terms of building hostels and other things that we really need.
