Dennis Zaman, CEO of Naijawebhost, emphasised the mutual benefits of the acquisition. He remarked, “Joining forces with HostAfrica represents an exciting chapter for Naijawebhost. Our customers will experience HostAfrica’s extensive resources and exceptional service.”
Acquiring Naijawebhost is a strategic move. It underscores HostAfrica’s commitment to expanding our footprint in key African markets. Nigeria, with its large and dynamic economy, presents immense growth opportunities. It sets the stage for rapid growth and innovation in Nigeria’s hosting sector.
