Africa’s leading technology distributor, TD Africa, has demonstrated its commitment to empowering individuals and businesses across Africa through technology and innovation. The company expressed the commitment at the just concluded GITEX Nigeria 2025, held for the first time in the country from September 1st to 4th.
The exhibition, hosted at the Eko Hotel Convention Centre, brought together global tech leaders, professionals, and exhibitors showcasing innovations in AI, IoT, cybersecurity, fintech, and more. One of the defining moments was the visit of the governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, to the TD Africa–IBM booth.
Sanwo-Olu, who was received by the chief executive officer of TD Africa, Mrs. Chioma Ekeh, applauded TD Africa’s innovation, tenacity and longevity in Africa’s technology ecosystem. Highlighting the company’s impact and vision, Mrs. Ekeh expressed gratitude for the governor’s support, reiterating TD Africa’s unwavering commitment to advancing digital transformation across the continent: “It’s not a coincidence for GITEX to have taken place in Nigeria, as the world is becoming aware that this is where the energy of Africa collides with the ambition of the future.
As long as TD Africa stands strong behind global brands like IBM and others we represent, we can only go further, stronger, and better,” she said. Also at the booth was the Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Dr. Bosun Tijani, who emphasised the importance of collaboration in shaping Africa’s digital future.
For his part, the general manager of IBM Mr. Vishnu Taimni stressed the need for sustained innovation and partnership: “Africa’s digital journey cannot be achieved in isolation. Our collaboration with TD Africa at GITEX is proof that when global expertise meets local strength, we unlock the future of technology for businesses, governments, and communities across the continent.”
Also speaking, the chairman of Zinox Group, Dr. Leo Stan Ekeh commended TD Africa and IBM for their steadfastness and consistency in driving growth and innovation in Africa’s technology sector.
