Speaking at the event that herald the partnership in Lagos, Sujal Desal, Regional Product Manager, Mitsumi Distributions, said that, what they intend to bring to DellEMC portfolio is technical support that no other competitor in the market could bring, adding that the partnership made them distributors of DellEMC whole portfolio in Nigeria as well as in Ghana.
“There are a lot of distributors, who are our competitor in this market, what we are bring in this particular market is the technical support because other distributors do not have this kind of facility, where they will provide pre-sales services as well as technical support to the market.
“so there are so many partners here in Nigeria, they want to do the business of EMC, they want to supply EMC portfolio but they don’t have particularly the support on the sales side, on the service side and on the pre-sales side.
“So Mitsumi is covering the whole complete portfolio with the support and after sales services as well .
“We have the pre-sales team, they are basically around Nigeria only, as well, we have the technical team here in Lagos also, they can provide after sales also.” He stated
Desal, noted that the event was to help their partners to configure the EMC solutions, and assist them to even close the opportunity with the end users, and also assist them to get the price quoted budget from EMC team.
He said also, that they will be helping their partners to deploy the solution in Nigeria as well as supplying it to Ghana.
He stated that their customers are government sectors, oil and gas sectors, financing and banking sectors.
He added that their work is to help these customers to understand the requirements and show them that going forward for another five or ten years, if they are stick with DellEMC technology, how the technology will give them success, not only with these requirements that they are having at the moment but going forward from five to ten years more, how they will succeed with the solution.
“Our company is located only in Lagos, all our expatriates and all our local staff sits in Lagos but we provide remote area support as well.
“If our customers require onsite support, we have engineers who can fly or go by road to provide them support, apart from that, we have a team who sits in Lagos but they remotely assist on any kind of requirement our customers may need actually”. Desal added
He noted, that the difference between Mitsumi and other competitors is that, they try to give very expensive solutions, top of the range solution to customers without giving the basic solutions, adding that what is required is starting with basic solution and then upscale it, whenever the customer required.
Desal, added that the beauty of EMC technology, is that you can start with the minimum requirement and you don’t need to change the technology, you can only upgrade the technology as at when required
“For our SME’s customers, we suggest our partners to go to them with the technology needs, if there is a storage requirement specifically, they can start with unity 300 and they can upscale it up to unity 500, there is no issue or harm in doing it because this kind of technology they really have to fulfill the requirement of what they have at present and if they have future requirements the same technology will help them.
“So they will pay as at when require, they don’t need to pay everything upfront at the moment and then they have to wait for another four to five years when the requirement will come their way.”
He stated that they are successful in Nigeria since they close the partnership deal with DellEMC.
Nigeria is set to receive telecommunications equipment and fibre optic infrastructure worth $3 billion in June 2025, according to Bosun Tijani, minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy.
Speaking during a panel session at the Nigeria Development Update (NDU) organised by the World Bank, Tijani revealed that the equipment valued at $1 billion was expected to arrive in the country by mid-2025.
He added that an additional $2 billion worth of fibre optic cables would soon be delivered to boost Nigeria’s telecommunications infrastructure.
According to him, the initiative aims to significantly enhance communication services across the country and bridge the connectivity gap.
Tijani also noted that a pilot phase targeting over 20 million Nigerians who currently lack access to any form of telecommunications would soon be launched.
The Nigeria Development Update (NDU) is a bi-annual World Bank report that assesses the country’s recent economic and social developments, policy directions, and provides recommendations to address emerging challenges.
Legend Internet Plc has launched FTTR by Legend — Nigeria’s first Fibre-to-the-Room (FTTR) service, redefining the standard for broadband connectivity across homes and businesses.
“Being listed on NGX is just the beginning, With FTTR by Legend, we are building the infrastructure of the future, today — not just to improve connectivity, but to transform how people live, work, and create”, said Aisha Abdulaziz, CEO of Legend Internet Plc.
This groundbreaking innovation was deployed by Legend, with strategic technology support from global telecommunications leader- Huawei. The result is a seamless digital experience that meets the demands of modern living.
The launch of FTTR follows the recent signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Legend Internet and Huawei Technologies.
“Our collaboration with Huawei reflects our commitment to global standards and local innovation. Unlike traditional broadband that stops at the router, FTTR by Legend brings pure fibre into every room, offering zero lag, full-house coverage, and the performance needed for smart homes, remote work, creators, and tech-forward enterprises.
The collaboration is aimed at accelerating broadband infrastructure development, enhancing local capacity, and positioning Nigeria as a digital leader in Africa. Huawei brings decades of R&D in fibre optic and smart home technology to support Legend in deploying this state-of-the-art infrastructure.
Coming on the heels of its recent listing on the Nigerian Exchange Limited(NGX), Legend Internet PLC shows no signs of slowing down. The company is celebrating its public debut with a landmark product — one that delivers ultra-high-speed fibre into every room of a building, enabling uninterrupted, gigabit-speed internet at all times.
Legend Internet’s entry into fibre-to-the-room solutions is part of a broader ambition to close the digital divide in Nigeria. While FTTR by Legend is currently being offered exclusively to high-end residences, the company plans to scale and democratize access through complementary solutions over time. This aligns with Legend’s dual-market approach.
In broadband, Legend leverages fibre optics to deliver ultra-high-speed internet directly to consumers, with a focus on reliability, speed, and innovation. In fintech, the company is expanding last-mile payment infrastructure and delivering secure, scalable tools including wallets, merchant solutions, and digital financial platforms for everyday use.
Legend’s mission is clear: to power Nigeria’s digital future — through cutting-edge technology, bold thinking, and local-first execution.
National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) has welcomed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s “Nigeria First Policy,” describing it as a bold step toward accelerating Nigeria’s industrial revolution and economic growth.
In a statement issued on Sunday, NASENI’s Executive Vice Chairman and CEO, Khalil Suleiman Halilu, commended the policy’s prioritization of locally made goods and indigenous solutions in government procurement.
He said the directive would empower local entrepreneurs, manufacturers, and technology innovators by giving them the necessary support to thrive.
“With Mr. President’s directive to the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) to revise and enforce guidelines in favor of local suppliers, we anticipate a significant increase in patronage of Nigerian-made products,” Mr. Halilu said.
“Government is a major buyer of goods and services, and this move will translate into increased demand across key sectors.”
Describing the policy as “forward-thinking and revolutionary,” Mr. Halilu noted that NASENI has long championed local content through its own initiatives.
He highlighted products developed by the agency, ranging from Nigerian-assembled vehicles and energy systems to smart irrigation tools and electronic devices, as evidence of the quality and competitiveness of local manufacturing.
He further referenced NASENI’s ongoing Made-in-Nigeria Strategic Focus Group meetings held across the country, aimed at driving awareness and understanding of consumer attitudes toward local products.
These forums bring together experts, regulators, manufacturers, entrepreneurs, and civil society actors to identify challenges and promote solutions for increasing local patronage.
“We are determined to be at the forefront of implementing the President’s vision,” Mr. Halilu stated. “But this is also a call to action for local producers.
“It is not enough to enjoy policy support, quality and standards must never be compromised.
“We must deliver products that compete favourably with imports and meet the needs of Nigerian consumers.”
NASENI, mandated to develop Nigeria’s science and engineering infrastructure, has been engaging stakeholders across states including Katsina, Lagos, Anambra, Delta, Kano, Kaduna, and Ogun to boost innovation, address manufacturing challenges, and encourage the adoption of homegrown solutions.
President Tinubu’s “Nigeria First Policy” directs the BPP to implement procurement reforms that prioritize local content and maintain a register of qualified Nigerian manufacturers and service providers.
Mr. Halilu concluded by affirming NASENI’s readiness to lead the charge: “We have seen the capacity and competence of our local manufacturers.
“They are ready. With the right support, we can achieve true industrialization powered by Nigerian solutions.”
