Chinese phone company, Tecno, whose business has entered its 10th year the Middle East and African markets, has informed of plans to set up a manufacturing plant in Nigeria.

For effect, the firm said it has secured a large expanse of land in one of the choicest areas of Lagos.

Tecno Deputy Marketing Manager, Nigeria, Attai Oguche, who disclosed this in Lagos, at the launch of the firm’s new mobile devices—Phantom 6 and Phantom 6 Plus, said the firm is committed to the Nigerian market, hence the need to site a manufacturing plant in the country.

Oguche said while Tecno has its first African manufacturing plant in Ethiopia, the firm has established presence in 48 territories, “Nigeria, Kenya and Tanzania respectively remain the biggest market on the continent for the phone company.”

The firm said it has revolutionised mobile telephony in well over 30 African countries; giving mobile users global quality devices at affordable rates. The strategy of adopting innovation works and for Tecno, the turning point was the introduction of dual SIM technology into its range of feature phones and smartphones well before top mobile brands doing business in same markets could respond to a glaring consumer need.

Giving more insight into the newly launched device, which was globally unveiled in Dubai, UAE, Tecno Digital Marketing Executive, Jesse Oguntimehin, said the firm currently controls 25.3 per cent market share in Nigeria.

The Official launch of Phantom 6 on September 25 at Burj Khalifa towers; Dubai is brand’s first step in long-term growth plan for the Middle-east and South American markets

Oguntimehin said Tecno has a good reason to celebrate its first decade of existence; enjoying particularly rising shipment to Africa and south-east Asian markets

Are you aware that nickel had been discovered in Nigeria? Chinese are smart people. One of the factors to consider before setting up an industry is nearness or proximity to raw materials. Nickel can draw the likes of apple, microsoft, samsung, etc to Nigeria in near future due to this. Labour is also cheap here. This is why we've been appealing to our Niger-delta brothers to stop the act of kidnapping and vandalism, also appealing to our northern brothers to stop killing innocent nigerians. Before an investor can put down his/money, he'd first consider security and safety of his investment and workers. All these vices can render their regions underdeveloped if they continue.

May you live long.

I think it doesn't really matter if the phones become cheaper or not, they'll be providing jobs, giving youths skills and even paying more taxes

Most of their retail offices is in ikeja, so presume that's where the factory might be sighted

With nepa wahala? D difference wont be much o! They will spend huge for power.

You've a point, but i guess they must have weighed the pros and cons and decided that citing a plant here will make sense.

Of course it will make sense but we are talking about whether the price will drop or be d same.

Fingers crossed. As this will enhance the economy and create more jobs. I hope this materializes soon.

The plant couldn't start any sooner.
We need the jobs and hopefully a reduced price that will come with it.
Great move by Tecno
