We are playing an active role in the Digital Transformation journey of Nigeria being championed by the Honourable Minister of Communications & Digital Economy, Prof. Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami.
We are proud of the investment and the work we have done and continue to do in ensuring that the backbone and network infrastructure that is powering Nigeria’s Digital Economy is secure available and efficient.
“Our world class Tier III Datacentre and soon to be launched Tier IV Datacentre for Cloud and Disaster Recovery purposes is available for everyone and sometime later today, we will take a deep dive into its huge potential for Nigerian Small & Medium Size businesses, Enterprises and the government.”
The MD who was represented by Dauda Oyeleye, Group Head Business Development went further to say that the amount of data generated across public and private organisations and individuals alike, have created new opportunities and experiences which needs to be well documented and explored.
“In the two years, the world and indeed our nation Nigeria has experienced extraordinary times. The Digital world was accelerated in 2020 during the pandemic, so today we have a lot of transactions going in to billions of dollars beginning and ending across different digital platforms and in that way, a lot of data is being generated. This Data has to be securely stored somewhere and backed-up as well to ensure and prevent unforeseen circumstances. Organisations must continue to devise innovative ways to store and back up their data to ensure business continuity.” He stated.
The MD expressed the agency’s willingness and readiness to work with the Chamber in prompt trade and industry in the country.

This is because we believe that this is what drives the development and growth of any economy. As we evolve as an organization, we are aware of the need to establish great partners who would work with us in line of our vision of being the leading enabler of Digital inclusion in Africa.
“We are very clear in minds that we cannot succeed on our own, hence we are determined to collaborate with organisations and platforms like yours in advancing the goals and objectives of our respective organisations.” He noted.
