21st Century Technologies Limited welcomed Dr. Olasupo Olusi, Managing Director of the Bank of Industry (BOI), and his team to its state-of-the-art facilities in Lagos this week, marking a key moment in efforts to deepen collaboration between Nigeria’s financial and technology sectors.
The visit provided an opportunity for BOI’s leadership to tour the company’s infrastructure and learn more about its investments in cutting-edge technologies, including artificial intelligence, green energy solutions, 5G networks, and cloud computing.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of 21st Century Technologies, Wale Ajisebutu, expressed appreciation for the visit, describing it as an important step in strengthening ties between the two institutions. “We were particularly delighted by Dr. Olusi’s positive reaction to our infrastructure and his pledge of support. His confidence in our work is a tremendous motivator for our team,” Ajisebutu said, noting the company’s eagerness to explore future joint initiatives with the BOI.
In his own remarks, Dr. Olusi underscored the significance of the visit, calling it “inspiring” to witness a Nigerian ICT company “not just imagining the future but building it.” He emphasized that 21st Century Technologies’ innovations are helping to empower businesses, create jobs, and enhance Nigeria’s position in the global digital economy.
“As technology advances rapidly — in areas such as AI, green energy, 5G, and cloud computing — Nigeria must continue to invest in infrastructure, security, and talent to remain competitive,” Olusi said. “At BOI, we are committed to supporting businesses like this that empower talent, drive innovation, and fuel economic growth.”
The visit signals growing momentum for strategic partnerships aimed at accelerating Nigeria’s digital transformation. Both organizations indicated readiness to explore avenues for collaboration that could bolster innovation, job creation, and the country’s competitiveness in the global tech landscape.
