The Nigeria-China Strategic Partnership NCSP has projected that Nigerias data center market, valued at 278 million in 2024, will grow to 671 million by 2030, as the country seeks to position itself as Africas next major digital hub.
NCSP Director-General, Joseph Tegbe, disclosed this on Friday at the Digital Silk Road Connection Event in China. In a statement titled NCSP Engages Chinas Tech Giants, Pitches Nigeria as Next Big Data Frontier, he urged Chinese technology leaders to take advantage of early investment opportunities in Nigerias fast-expanding digital economy.
According to Tegbe, Nigeria already accounts for a significant share of Africas over 570 million internet users, with mobile data traffic expanding by 40 percent annually. He noted that this growth makes the country an attractive destination for big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence development.
