MTN Set To Launch Dabengwa Data Centre As Its Most Ambitious Infrastructure

MTN Nigeria plans to open the first phase of the “MTN Dabengwa Data Centre.” A major step forward in the nation’s digital development, the data centre is one of MTN’s most ambitious infrastructure projects to date.

The facility, which will cost $100 million for phase one and another $135 million for phase two, is the largest prefabricated modular data centre in Nigeria and among the largest in West Africa. With this move, the telecom behemoth gains a prominent position in the nation’s digital transformation and cloud computing space, in addition to being a leader in the industry.

A former CEO of MTN Nigeria and the MTN Group, the data centre bears the name of the late Sifiso Dabengwa, whose contributions shaped the company’s legacy in Nigeria and throughout Africa, BrandSpur telecom and information news reports.
