Standup9ja: Oracle expands presence in Nigeria with Abuja office

Oracle on Monday said that its new office in Abuja would focus exclusively on driving cloud adoption across the country’s public sector.

“Opening the Abuja office underscores our commitment to Nigeria by enhancing our local capabilities and service offerings,” the Vice-President, Technology, Africa, Oracle, Cherian Varghese, said.

He said, “Nigeria’s public sector is focused on delivering transparent, efficient and proactive services to its citizens. Our aim will be to support the government to implement its vision with a modern, secure, and cost-effective suite of cloud solutions built specifically for the public sector.”

The Minister of Communications, Adebayo Shittu, said, “Information and Communications Technology innovation is vital for improving the citizen experience, driving new investment opportunities, enhancing government revenue and identifying new growth avenues.”

He added, “By 2020, Nigeria will be one of the 20 largest economies of the world and we will be able to realise our full economic and social potential only if we become early adopters of modern technology.

”Oracle is at the forefront of delivering technologically advanced cloud solutions and we congratulate the company’s Africa leadership for expanding their footprint in Nigeria.”
