Qualcomm Opens Office in Nigeria

Qualcomm has opened an office in Lagos, to serve as the Company's hub for West Africa business operations. The office will provide support to mobile operators and device manufacturers serving countries throughout the region, including Nigeria, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Senegal and Cameroon.
Commenting on the Lagos office launch, Alexander Dadson, senior director of business development and managing director of Qualcomm's West Africa operations, said "Qualcomm supports growth and development of the West Africa ICT sector. Toward this end, we are collaborating with regional partners to make cost-efficient 3G mobile devices and services more readily available."
"Qualcomm is committed to supporting its partners regardless of which 3G CDMA technology path they choose," continued Dadson. "We also recognize that fulfilling the industry's promise of anywhere, anytime wireless voice and data services will not be easy; it will take time, resources and close partnerships with policy makers and operators to make this vision a reality. Our new Lagos office not only reflects Qualcomm's long-term commitment to the region, but it also allows us to maintain close proximity to the people, governments and important industry events that are driving the West Africa ICT sector forward."
