Indeed, industry experts describe it as a textbook example of how public\u2013private collaboration can accelerate nation-building in the digital era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"????-3-building-the-backbone-of-digital-economy\"><strong>Building the Backbone of the Digital Economy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MTN Nigeria CEO Dr\u202fKarl\u202fToriola emphasised how the centre serves as both a springboard and a magnet for innovation.

The Minister of Communications and Digital Economy described it as essential for positioning Nigeria as West Africa\u2019s digital backbone and for unlocking youth-led tech enterprises with global reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lagos alone now hosts 14 data centres, trailing only Johannesburg and Nairobi on the continent\u2014an indicator of burgeoning capacity.
