About Us
AFITS CONSULTING SERVICES INC was launched in May 2005 as an ICT social networking website to exchange ideas among African IT professionals both home and abroad. Our objective was to fully utilize the power of internet to acquire and share various technological knowledge, embracement in Advance Science and Computer Technology to further facilitate the economic growth in Africa.
In 2007 we slowly transform from an ICT social networking website into a Business, ICT and Investment Consulting Company. In 2008 African Institute of Technologies became AFITS LLC, registered in the state of Massachusetts.
Our new mission now focuses on promoting capital and investments in African countries and also to promote trade between the United States and Africa. It is only through this we can envision the transformation of the African continent from its current economic strangulation.
