MTN Group has broken ground on a $240 million AI-ready campus in Ikeja, Lagos, designed to anchor the operator’s new Genova infrastructure division. The modular build delivers 9 MW of IT capacity across two phases, with the initial 4.5 MW Tier III hall using pre-fabricated containers, 1,500 racks, and dedicated modular power and cooling systems. MTN plans to host its own GPU clouds alongside third-party tenants, positioning the facility as Nigeria’s flagship sovereign AI hub while pursuing additional partnerships with US and European technology providers to scale similar data centers across Africa.
