.@Visa Inc., an American multinational payment card services corporation, has updated Vice President @KashimSM on plans to site data centre infrastructure in Nigeria.
This is in addition to its investments of over $1 billion in the country, including a substantial technological partnership with @moniepoint to foster digital payment solutions, a $200 million investment in Interswitch, and a partnership with @thriveagric to empower smallholder farmers and enhance food security in Nigeria.
Visa’s Regional President for Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (@VisaCEMEA), Mr. Andrew Torre, disclosed this when he led a delegation of the company on a courtesy visit to Vice President @KashimSM at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Mr. Torre said that while @Visa Inc. “has been making investments and will continue to make these investments in Nigeria,” the plan to site the data centre infrastructure is aimed at bringing new technologies into the Nigerian market that would bolster the nation’s growing digital economy.
Responding, Vice President @KashimSM assured the US-based corporation’s team that the patronage and partnership between Visa and the Nigerian government will continue to grow by leaps and bounds.
VP @KashimSM also applauded Visa for investing in @thriveagric, noting that the administration of President @officialABAT is quite passionate about repositioning the agriculture sector, which is one of the key priorities in the administration’s 8-point agenda.
He said, “Nigeria is where the action is. Of the ten fintechs in Africa, about eight are in Nigeria, with @moniepoint as the newest addition. Agriculture is key to the 8-point agenda of the present administration. President @officialABAT is really keen on repositioning the agriculture industry here, and we have to invest in technology, we have to invest in modernisation.”
