The Chairman of Zinox Group, Leo Stan Ekeh, has hailed President Bola Tinubu’s investment-focused reforms as a significant boost to investor confidence and a strategic repositioning of Nigeria’s economy.
In a statement on Friday in Lagos, Ekeh commended the President for acting decisively to implement reforms immediately upon taking office, noting that any delay could have further weakened the economy and undermined investor trust.
He also highlighted endorsements from the World Bank and remarks by WTO Director-General Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as confirmation that Tinubu’s reforms are both progressive and credible.
Speaking in his statement on Friday, according to NAN, Ekeh, hailed Tinubu’s investment-focused reforms as a major boost to investor confidence and a strategic repositioning of Nigeria’s economy.
“Sentiments aside, President Tinubu is a well-exposed visionary. He is investment-friendly, courageous, and a team player. This reflects in the bold decisions he has taken, which have attracted global recognition,” Ekeh said.
The Zinox Group boss noted that leading multinationals in Africa’s ICT ecosystem are increasing their investments in Nigeria and strengthening partnerships with local firms, helping to boost the sector’s contribution to the nation’s Gross Domestic Product.
Reflecting on his own journey, Ekeh shared that he returned from the United Kingdom after leaving his postgraduate program to pursue opportunities in Nigeria.
He described his mission as promoting “digital democracy” in a country that was largely analogue at the time.
Through initiatives such as Computerise Nigeria, Zinox has delivered computers and digital training to homes, schools, and government agencies, boosting productivity and supporting e-governance.
The company has since diversified into oil and gas, finance, and public sector solutions.
Ekeh is credited with several pioneering achievements in Nigeria’s ICT sector, including founding Zinox Technologies Limited, which produced the country’s first internationally certified branded computers in 2001.
