Zinox has proven its worth — Now Nigeria must support Its own, says Dr. S.T. Olowolafe

In a strong endorsement that speaks volumes about the evolving landscape of indigenous technology in Nigeria, Dr. S.T. Olowolafe, a distinguished academic and public policy advocate, has declared his unwavering support for Zinox Technologies, a leading Nigerian IT company.

According to Dr. Olowolafe, Zinox has more than proven its capacity, credibility, and consistency in delivering quality technology solutions across Nigeria.

“Yes, I agree — Zinox has nothing to prove again in Nigeria,” Dr. Olowolafe stated, affirming the sentiments of many industry watchers who have followed the company’s progress over the years. “I am aware of the many quality projects she has delivered in this country, and I have been a user of Zinox.”

Founded in 2001, Zinox Technologies has steadily built a reputation for pioneering ICT innovations in Nigeria, including the launch of the country’s first locally assembled computer certified by Microsoft and Intel.

The company has also executed several high-profile digital infrastructure projects for both public and private sector institutions, further establishing its credibility.

Dr. Olowolafe emphasized that companies like Zinox represent the kind of homegrown excellence Nigeria needs to nurture if the country is serious about technological advancement and economic independence.

He urged the Federal Government to become more intentional and strategic in its support for indigenous enterprises.

“FGN must be deliberate in supporting companies like Zinox for Nigeria to move forward,” he stressed. “These are the entities that not only create jobs and retain capital within the country, but also drive innovation that is tailored to our unique challenges.”

His comments come at a time when national conversations around digital transformation, local content development, and economic diversification are gaining momentum. For many observers, Dr. Olowolafe’s endorsement reinforces the urgent need for a policy shift that prioritizes Nigerian companies with a proven track record.

As Zinox continues to break boundaries and set new standards in Nigeria’s technology ecosystem, calls like Dr. Olowolafe may become a rallying cry for a more inclusive, supportive, and self-sustaining digital economy.
