On 14 September 2026, Digital Parks Africa announced it is building Nigeria Data Centre 1 (NDC1) in Lagos. The site will be carrier-neutral: any network provider will be able to connect to it. It is aimed at financial services, cloud platforms and artificial intelligence applications.
The project is being carried out with Master Power Technologies Group, of which Digital Parks Africa is the data centre arm. The company has begun an Uptime Institute assessment to obtain Tier IV certification, the highest level of resilience.
« Our investment in Nigeria is much more than a new site: it continues a long-standing commitment to the region. »
Menno Parsons, founder and CEO of Digital Parks Africa (paraphrased)
Neither the site’s capacity, the amount invested nor the launch date has been disclosed. Nigeria is seeking to attract $750 million in private investment over two years as part of its national cloud policy.
