The Lagos State government has disclosed that the state attracted over a billion dollars in data centre investment alone in 2021.
Governor Babajide Sanwoolu made the disclosure recently when he was the Guest of Honour at the groundbreaking ceremony of Rack Centre’s 12mw IT power capacity data centre facility in Ikeja, Lagos.
He promised that the state can only improve the business climate and make it more conducive.
Sanwo Olu said the increasing IT infrastructure utilisation in Lagos should not be surprising to anybody going by the proliferation of technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Blockchain, Software Defined Networks, Smart cities, among others which are prevalent in the state today.
According to Sanwo Olu, technology has revolutionised and continues to change industries and business models, adding that companies like Rack Centre are at the heart of making the dreams of a new world future possible.
