By Global tech company, TeKnowledge has expanded its footprint deeper into Africa as it last night in Lagos, Southwest Nigeria hosted tech experts and leaders at the TeKnowledge Nigeria CXO Summit 2025.
Significant to the company, which celebrated seven years of local impact and leadership in the tech industry, was the launch of a unified service model to drive innovation, talent development, AI-powered transformation, and cybersecurity services across Africa and beyond.
TeKnowledge at the high level corporate event that cut across the private and public sector unveiled its AI-First Expert Technology Services in Nigeria, along with a refreshed brand identity that reflects the company’s global evolution and deepened commitment to enabling enterprise and national transformation across Africa.
Before the unveiling of the AI-First Expert Technology Services in Nigeria, speakers after speakers drawn from the management team of TeKnowledge deliver exciting papers that capture the essence of TeKnowledge business in Nigeria, starting with a opening remark by the President and Chief Executive Officer of TeKnowledge, Aileen Allkins who shared the company’s vision for the country’s next phase of technology-driven growth.
As the company’s largest global hub, TeKnowledge delivers services to over 90 countries from Nigeria and employs more than 2,000 local experts. It drives strong partnerships across both the public and private sectors, working closely with stakeholders to build sustainable digital ecosystems.
In collaboration with Microsoft, TeKnowledge has trained thousands in AI skills-including more than 7,000 Nigerians and over 1,000 women through targeted ICT programs. The company serves as a trusted technology services partner to more than 40 Nigerian organisations, delivering solutions across skilling, digital transformation, and managed services.
Cybersecurity remains central to TeKnowledge’s transformation model, with its Security Operations Center hosted in Nigeria. The company offers award-winning cybersecurity expertise, with a proven track record in proactive defense and scalable security solutions across Africa and beyond.
Its AI-driven security systems detect risks, predict attacks, and respond in real time-enabling clients to focus on what matters most. This capability not only builds resilience but also directly strengthens customer experience and trust.
In today’s digital landscape, customers expect secure, seamless interactions-and organisations that prioritize cybersecurity protect data, earn confidence, and foster lasting relationships.
An excited Africa Territory Director, TeKnowledge, Olugbolahan Olusanya, said: “This is an exciting milestone-one that reflects how far TeKnowledge has come and the future we’re building together with our ecosystem.”
He added: “Our new brand and AI-First Expert Technology Services model are grounded in what has always mattered most: people, trust, and progress.”
The evening event celebrated Nigeria’s legacy of transformation-from its industrial and creative sectors to its growing leadership in applied AI-and applauded both the Nigerian government and private sector for leading the continent in delivering tangible returns from AI.
Also speaking, the Chief Revenue and Transformation Officer at TeKnowledge,Nidal Abou-Ltaif, said: “Nigeria has always been a nation of transformation,” adding, “From the ancient trade networks of Kano to the fintech revolution and Nollywood’s global rise, progress here has always been driven by purpose. Today, Nigerian business leaders aren’t just exploring AI-they’re acting on it with urgency, focus, and vision.”
Yet, as innovation scales, structural challenges persist. Fragmented systems, limited AI-specific talent, and evolving regulatory frameworks continue to slow widespread adoption. Nigeria’s National AI Strategy highlights the need for stronger cross-sector alignment to ensure that AI-driven progress is inclusive, sustainable, and strategic.
TeKnowledge’s AI-First approach focuses on helping clients move from ambition to action—scaling solutions that are ethical, locally relevant, and built to last. With over 6,000 experts across 19 global hubs, TeKnowledge blends global scale with local expertise.
Its strong ecosystem of partners, including Microsoft and Genesys, enables its experts to deliver AI-first solutions for enterprise productivity and customer experience, leveraging cloud and modern workplace technologies. Seventy percent of its workforce is certified in these platforms, reflecting deep technical capability and ongoing investment in talent.
