Africa Hyperscalers will convene a high-level strategy workshop in Lagos on December 11, 2025, to advance a coordinated approach to network buildout and shared infrastructure models across Nigeria’s digital economy. The session follows conversations at its annual conference, Hyperscalers Convergence Africa 2025, and is designed to bring the country’s leading operators, regulators, and infrastructure companies into a single room to shape a blueprint for accelerating connectivity.
With fixed broadband penetration still under 6 percent despite rapid investment in subsea cables, backbone fiber, and metro networks, participants will examine how shared systems, co-build frameworks, and collaboration between operators can improve deployment economics and reach underserved regions. The meeting underscores a growing recognition that Africa’s next leap in access and affordability depends not on isolated construction but on collective execution.
Speakers include Dr. Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi, Director-General of the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA); Engr. Ganiyu Olatunji Oseni, Special Adviser to the Governor on Innovation and Broadband, Lagos State; Temitayo Oyeleke, Associate Director, IHS Towers; Josephine Sarouk, Managing Director, Bayobab Nigeria; Lanre Ore, Chief Executive Officer, Fiber One Broadband; Muhammed Rudman, Chief Executive Officer, Internet Exchange Point of Nigeria. Other confirmed attendees include senior representatives from ntel, Open Access Data Centres, ipNX, Tizeti, Africa Data Centres, Dimension Data, Broadbased Communications, Infratel, TelCables Nigeria, AvantiCommunications, WTES, Infratel, Broadbased and Nokia, among others.
In a statement, the organizers stated, “The completion of 2Africa marked more than a cable landing – it signaled a new era of collaboration and continental connectivity. The real test before us is not capacity at the shore, but capacity inland. The same ambition that brought global operators together at the coastline must now be replicated across backbones, metros, and last-mile networks if Africa is to unlock the benefits of this investment fully.”
The workshop aims to align leadership around models linking subsea gateways to terrestrial backbones, metro rings, Internet exchange infrastructure, and last-mile systems. The programme is invitation-only, a structure intended to enable frank, outcome-focused dialogue among decision-makers positioned to determine how – and how quickly – the country expands digital access.
