Schneider Electric is enabling local IT solution providers to meet growing demand by delivering AI infrastructure that is not only high-performing but also secure, scalable, and sustainable.
From fintech to manufacturing and telecommunications, AI is driving innovation in Nigeria. However, deploying AI at scale requires more than powerful software, it demands robust physical infrastructure that can handle massive data volumes, support rapid processing, and remain energy efficient. Schneider Electric, through its EcoStruxure™ platform and AI-ready data centre solutions, is equipping Nigerian partners with the tools to meet these evolving infrastructure needs.
Ajibola Akindele, Country President, Schneider Electric Nigeria said, “With the rise of AI workloads, Nigerian businesses need infrastructure that is future-proof, reliable, and sustainable. We’re enabling our IT partners to deliver solutions that don’t just meet the demands of today’s applications but are also designed for long-term energy efficiency and data security.”
AI models require dense compute environments and constant power availability. Schneider Electric’s data centre technologies support this by integrating intelligent cooling, power redundancy, and remote monitoring systems to maintain uptime and reduce carbon impact. With a growing number of Nigerian businesses turning to AI for competitive advantage, Schneider Electric actively works with local IT providers to design, build, and maintain edge-to-core data centre infrastructure capable of supporting AI growth.
The company is also addressing one of the country’s most pressing needs: energy efficiency. By embedding sustainability into every layer of AI infrastructure across power, cooling, and monitoring. Schneider Electric ensures performance does not come at the cost of the environment or operating costs. This is particularly critical as Nigeria moves toward cleaner energy goals while trying to keep pace with rapid digital transformation.
In addition to offering cutting-edge solutions, Schneider Electric continues to invest in the Nigerian tech ecosystem by training engineers, supporting solution architects, and collaborating with managed service providers (MSPs), cloud enablers, and colocation partners. These efforts ensure that local IT firms are equipped to design secure, scalable AI environments that are aligned with global best practices.
As artificial intelligence becomes a foundational tool in sectors from banking to healthcare, Schneider Electric is positioning its Nigerian partners to lead the way in delivering intelligent, sustainable infrastructure that supports long-term national growth.
