Yesterday, Nigerians woke to the good news that the world’s digital infrastructure company, #Equinix, was in the process of acquiring #MainOne, a West African data centre and connectivity solutions provider, at an enterprise valuation of $320 million.

The deal, which is expected to be closed by the first quarter of 2022, will add more than 64,000 gross square feet of space to #PlatformEquinix, with 570,000 square feet of land for future expansions.

MainOne owns and operates a 7,000-kilometre subsea network from Nigeria to Portugal, as well as 1,200 kilometers of reliable terrestrial fiber network across southern Nigeria.

The company’s digital assets have helped connectivity to and from Europe, West African countries and the major business communities in Nigeria.

When completed, the acquisition will extend Platform Equinix into West Africa, giving organisations based inside and outside Africa access to one of the world’s fastest growing markets.

In this interview, #FunkeOpeke, CEO of MainOne, who will be staying on as Chief Executive of Platform Equinix after the transaction is closed, and #JudithGardiner, Vice President, Growing & Emerging Markets at Equinix,
throw more light on the $320 million deal and the value proposition for both parties and other stakeholders.

The acquisition, a good move?

How will the common man benefit from this?

Another black owned company bought over by a white owned comoany... I guess it's true what they say — Anything wey dey black man hand na for sale (even his conscience).. And when they sell they don't take any other thing into consideration, just the money. That's how the owner of BET (Black Entertainment Television) sold his media company to a white man.

The way things are going soon there'd be nothing like a black owned conglomerate.

And Naija internet slow die

Have never heard of such names before
Who are they?

Nice one. This is a good FDI.
Well done to Ms Opeke and her team. That she is retained on the seat to drive the next phase confirm that the investors have tremendous confidence in her leadership.

The acquisition is actually a lifeline for MainOne. They have been having a loss of revenue for sometime now

This is what we call a legitimate hammer.

Congrats girls.
