Airtel Aims to Dominate Nigerian Data Centre Market with Hyperscale Facility
Airtel Nigeria is set to challenge MTN’s dominance in the data centre space with the construction of what it claims will be Nigeria’s largest data centre. This move directly competes with MTN’s recently launched $235 million Sifiso Dabengwa Data Centre, currently recognized as the biggest Tier III facility in West Africa. The new Airtel facility signifies a significant investment in Nigeria’s digital infrastructure and a growing demand for data services.
Hyperscale Capacity and AI Focus
Airtel’s bold move to build a data centre of this scale positions them as a major player in the rapidly expanding Nigerian digital economy, potentially reshaping the competitive landscape previously led by MTN’s significant investment in the Sifiso Dabengwa Data Centre. The increased capacity and focus on AI capabilities signal a forward-thinking approach, ready to capitalize on the growing demand for cloud services and advanced technologies within Nigeria and potentially the wider West African region.
