Dans le but de To develop digital infrastructure in southern Nigeria, global data center company Equinix will invest $140 million in the country.

The company plans to create a new data center in Port Harcourt and by expanding its center in Lagos, LG3. This initiative aims to decentralize Nigeria's Internet capacity, 70% of which is concentrated in Lagos. Port Harcourt Data Center, PR1, will be the first Nigerian landing station for Meta's 2Africa submarine cable, increasing bandwidth capacity and improving resilience in the region. Equinix's investment aims to fill Nigeria's mid-mile infrastructure gap, the critical layer that connects coastal landing stations to users in the country's interior. While subsea capacity has increased thanks to systems like Equiano and 2Africa, much of the country remains underserved.
