About the App
Recently the three wise men finished coding their first app and have christened it FuelMe. FuelMe is designed to facilitate the purchase of petroleum products from the comfort of your home. According to Michael Ochoga, “the world is becoming digital and it has become very cliché to have to always drive into a gas station to get fuel or other petroleum products”. He added, “we have Bolt or Uber to solve having to go to a transport station to get a ride and Jumia Foods to help get food delivered to your doorstep, but whenever we need fuel we have to go to the gas station”. He believes their app will fix this problem. They are hoping to get investors to invest in their idea to unlock the potentials of the software.

The three wise men have shown that basketball is, and has never been, a barrier toward educational and other life pursuits.
