Equinix, the global data center provider that acquired Nigeria’s MainOne, will invest $140 million to expand digital infrastructure across southern Nigeria over the next two years, the company noted in a blog post shared with TechCabal. The investment includes a new data center in Port Harcourt and an expansion of its third data center in Lagos, marking a significant step toward decentralising the country’s internet capacity beyond Lagos.
