The CEO of Digital Reality, Engr. Ikechukwu Nnamani, has said Nigeria must build, at least 72 edge data centres, two per state capital, if it intends to compete in the global digital economy.
Nnamani made the call at the 25th Edition of the ‘50 Most Valuable Personalities in Nigeria’s Digital Economy,’ hosted by Knowhow Media, publishers of ITEdgeNews, in Lagos.
At the colloquium titled ‘Nigeria: State of the Digital Economy for 2025,’ the CEO affirmed that, without a serious overhaul of its data infrastructure, Nigeria risks falling further behind in digital competitiveness.
“Lagos currently houses most of the country’s data infrastructure, yet this represents only 10 percent of Nigeria’s true digital capacity. To compete globally, we need a minimum of 72 edge data centers to support real-time data processing and service delivery across all state capitals,” Nnamani stated.
