Limited Tech Access Holds Back Nigeria’s Digital Economy

Limited access to genuine technology products and reliable technical support continues to hinder digital inclusion in Nigeria, despite the increasing importance of technology in education, business and economic activities, according to the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Blessing Computers Limited, Mr Blessing Usinode.

Usinode made the remarks in a statement issued on Friday to commemorate the company’s more than 20 years of operations. He noted that technology has become an essential part of modern life, influencing education, business operations, workplace productivity and access to economic opportunities.

“Technology has quietly become the infrastructure of modern life. It powers how students learn, how businesses operate, how professionals deliver their best work, and how individuals stay connected to the opportunities around them,” he said.

He observed that although technology is transforming virtually every sector of the economy, access to authentic devices and dependable after-sales support remains uneven across Nigeria.

“But access to reliable, genuine and well-supported technology has never been evenly distributed—and for many people across Nigeria, finding a trustworthy place to start has been the first and hardest challenge,” he added.

According to the company, this challenge shaped its decision to prioritise the supply of genuine technology products alongside long-term technical support, rather than focusing solely on device sales.

Founded in 2003 and incorporated by the Corporate Affairs Commission, Blessing Computers stated that it has spent more than two decades delivering ICT infrastructure, technical consultancy, repairs, maintenance and after-sales services to individuals, businesses, educational institutions, government agencies and corporate organisations across Nigeria and beyond.

Headquartered in Lagos, the company is an authorised Original Equipment Manufacturer partner for global technology brands, including Dell, HP and Lenovo.

Usinode attributed the company’s growth largely to customer referrals and its reputation for integrity, quality service and dependable support.

He reaffirmed Blessing Computers’ commitment to expanding access to trusted technology products and ICT solutions as part of efforts to support Nigeria’s digital transformation and economic development.
