USTDA announced on September 23 that it had signed an agreement with INFRAGORA to fund a feasibility study for two proposed data centres in Nigeria’s Lagos and Delta states. The study will assess technical and financial viability and capacity to support AI workloads.
The project is described as the initial phase of INFRAGORA’s AFRIDATA platform. The announcement identifies opportunities for cloud, storage, networking, computing and cybersecurity suppliers; it gives no completed facilities, definitive investment cost or commissioning date.
At the BUILD 2026 conference, the communications minister cited power, connectivity, cloud access and advanced chips as constraints on local AI growth.

Measurement and privacy details
Google Analytics measurement starts only if you allow it. After consent, automatic measurement may cover scrolls, outbound link clicks, downloads, video engagement, site searches and basic form interactions; search terms may be detected from URL parameters. This site’s own code does not send form field values; email redaction in automatic measurement is best-effort, not guaranteed. Our manual page-view event uses a cleaned URL. You can change your choice later. Visits that begin with consent may also send numeric LCP, INP and CLS performance measurements after Analytics loads. A first or later grant starts this on the next page load; withdrawing consent stops these performance reports for this page. The preference cookie lasts six months; advertising measurement and personalization stay off.
Your browser is sending a Global Privacy Control signal. Analytics is off by default; you may explicitly change this choice here.
