Nigeria’s Digital Future Strengthens, as Rack Centre Partners with EdgeNext to expand deployment

In LAGOS-Nigeria, on the 10th of November, 2025, Nigeria’s fast-growing digital economy received a major boost this week as Rack Centre, West Africa’s leading carrier- and cloud-neutral data centre, announced a partnership with EdgeNext, a global content delivery network (CDN) and cloud hosting provider. The collaboration brings EdgeNext’s global acceleration network to Nigeria, hosted within Rack Centre’s advanced LGS2 facility in Lagos.

With more than 200 million people, with most age under 30, Nigeria is a country where digital demand is outpacing infrastructure. From online learning and e-commerce to gaming and social media, millions of Nigerians now rely daily on digital services that depend on fast and stable connections. EdgeNext’s entry promises to make that experience smoother by reducing latency and improving performance for video streaming, apps, and online platforms.

Terence Wang, CEO of EdgeNext said – “launching our CDN and cloud hosting services in Nigeria marks a key milestone for EdgeNext. By partnering with Rack Centre, we are enabling enterprises, developers, and consumers to enjoy more reliable, low-latency services, paving the way for a new era of cloud and edge computing”. Rack Centre’s CEO, Lars Johannisson, added that the move underscores Nigeria’s growing appeal to international technology providers: “EdgeNext’s arrival at Rack Centre demonstrates the strength of Nigeria’s digital infrastructure ecosystem. Our LGS2 facility provides the capacity, connectivity, and sustainability needed to serve this market effectively”. Fanning widely beyond technology and its broader impact.
