Mr. Leo Stan Ekeh, chairman of Zinox Group has as assured international investors of an investment- friendly environment beginning May 29, and urged Nigerians to be patient with the incoming administration of General Muhammed Buhari.
Sounding very optimistic about the future of the country, he told a team of EMC, the world’s leading provider of IT storage hardware solutions at the launch of a partnership between the company and Technology Distributions Ltd. (TD), an arm of Zinox group; that the incoming administration will work to improve efficiency and reduce cost of governance.
“Let me assure you that the potentials here are great, I believe in this country and with the current transition things will begin to work better” he said.
He added that “I have committed my energy to raising a new generation of information driven Nigerians, if I were looking for money and fortune, I will be doing some other things, but even with the headaches and less return in IT business, I have remained here for 28 years because ICT is a change agent. This is what Nigeria needs to grow quickly and productively”
Speaking on the partnership, Mr. Ekeh said that TD joined EMC’s global business partner programme to expand access to cutting-edge technology for various end-users through TD’s wide network of solution providers/resellers as well as its presence in major Nigerian cities and key African countries.
TD has earned accreditation as a local distributor and has forged a reputation for being the number one ICT distributor in sub-Saharan Africa.
The company will provide new sales opportunities through its reach to new and existing resellers in Nigeria and will extend EMC’s next-level Information Technology (IT) solutions to end-users in the current business environment.
As an authorised business partner, TD plans to offer storage hardware solutions to promote data backup and recovery to help enable and accelerate the journey to cloud computing for businesses all over the country and in the sub-region as a whole.
These products and solutions will complement TD’s focus as the major driver of technological advancements and IT growth in Africa.
Travers Nicholas, general manager, EMC West Africa, said: “Having committed a significant amount of time in both training and accreditation, we are pleased to welcome TD into the Business Partner Programme. Along with providing added value to their customers, TD will now benefit from the associated benefits of this tiered program, including the opportunity to further position itself strategically as the technology distributor of choice in the market.”
