Sustainably connecting Africa The culture of excellence Coker is cultivating within OADC is designed to ensure that it delivers a truly innovative and client-centric data centre experience; one that puts its clients at the centre of Africa’ s digital transformation.
MISSION STATEMENT
OADC plans to open its second core data centre in Nigeria later this year. On a four-hectare site in Lekki, Lagos – the largest data centre campus in West Africa- the US $ 100mn, Tier III-quality facility will have up to 20MW of capacity and 7,200 sqm( 77,500 sq ft) of white space, with further expansion potential subject to demand. The Equiano subsea cable lands directly into this data centre.
“ The quality of client interaction has to be such that every touchpoint is an outstanding experience, something we work at continuously and embody in our culture. Our client comes first; working with us has to be a totally different experience compared to any other operator, so those are the expectations I put in place here at OADC. We have to underpin the delivery of this expectation through the people we employ, ensuring that every single person in this organisation has the ability and desire to delight each client, and they have to be fully engaged in that process.
