MTN Nigeria is set to commission the phase one of ‘MTN Dabengwa Data Centre’
The data centre is of one of MTN’s most ambitious infrastructure projects to date, marking a significant leap in the country’s digital evolution.
With an initial investment of $100 million for phase one and a further $135 million planned for phase two, the facility stands as Nigeria’s largest prefabricated modular data centre and one of the biggest in West Africa.
This move positions the telecom giant not just as a leader in the sector but as a central player in the country’s digital transformation and cloud computing space.
Named in honour of the late Sifiso Dabengwa, a former CEO of both MTN Nigeria and the MTN Group, the data centre commemorates a man whose contributions helped shape the company’s legacy in Nigeria and across Africa.
More than a technological facility, the Dabengwa Data Centre represents MTN’s broader commitment to Nigeria’s data sovereignty, innovation economy, and long-term digital resilience.
MTN Dabengwa Data Centre will significantly reduce the country’s reliance on foreign cloud services and keep vital digital infrastructure within national borders.
