Three Chief Executive Officers of Nigeria’s leading Data Centre Service providers- MainOne, Medallion Communications, and Rack Centre will be guests at the Nigeria Information Technology Reporters Association (NITRA)’s February 2018 Edition monthly interactive session with ICT journalist tagged: ‘Breakfast Meeting With The CEO.’
The CEOs Funke Opeke (MainOne), Mr. Ike Nnamani (Medallion) and Mr. Tunde Coker (Rack Centre) have all indicated interest to be present at the Breakfast meeting which will have over 50 journalists in attendance.
As the world increasingly exploits information technology for innovative services and competitive advantage, the data centres are now playing a rapidly expanding role in job creation and preservation as well as the overall economic recovery.
Nigeria has witnessed significant investments in data centres being established in the country. And it has often been argued that the availability of world class Data centres in Nigeria is critical infrastructure required for the implementation of the country’s Broadband initiatives.
Hence, the need for the industry journalist association to convene players in this segment of the nation’s ICT sub sector of the economy at this edition of its breakfast series on the theme “Data Centre Operation In Nigeria: Impacts, Benefits And Challenges In a Knowledge Economy.”
The event slated to hold February 16, 2018 at the R-Café Hotel on Isaac John Street, Ikeja GRA, will feature MainOne, as a leading connectivity solutions company, operator of MDX-i Lekki Data Centre.
MainOne apart from being the premier Tier III certified Data Centre in West Africa; is the most connected Data Centre facility in the region, with access to fibre connectivity from all the major ISPs and telecommunications operators in the region.
The Medallion Communications CEO will share his experiences in the telecommunications industry while the Rack Centre boss who is a major player in a State-of-the-Art, Tier III Certified Data Centre Carrier will share how he is offering Neutral Colocation Services.
The Breakfast meeting was introduced by NITRA for CEOs of ICT companies to offer showcase some of their company’s achievements, the impacts, benefits and challenges of their business in the country’s economy.
