Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, is among the dignitaries expected to officially inaugurate the newly built state-of-the-art LGS2 Data Centre by a leading carrier-neutral data centre operator, Rack Centre, on April 10, 2025.

The governor, who confirmed his attendance for the inauguration, to be led by the Chief Executive Officer of the Centre, Lars Johannisson, at the Lagos House Marina, said: “It was good to hear about Rack Centre’s upcoming launch of its new $120 million Tier III data Centre, also known as LGS2. This facility will enhance Rack Centre’s presence in West Africa and establish Lagos as a key player in the region’s tech landscape.”

According to Johannisson, the facility would redefine the standards of data centre infrastructure in Nigeria, describing the newly built facility as a monumental leap for Nigeria’s digital infrastructure landscape, offering unparalleled scalability and efficiency for businesses navigating the digital era.

“This 12MW IT load facility doubles the nation’s data centre capacity and stands as a testament to our commitment to technological advancement and sustainable digitisation. As we embark on this new chapter, we remain steadfast in our commitment to providing reliable, scalable, and environmentally conscious infrastructure to propel Nigeria’s digital economy into the future,” he said.
