This is the first smartphone manufacturer in Africa," Thakkar told Reuters after touring the company alongside Rwanda's President Paul Kagame.

Companies assemble smartphones in Egypt, Ethiopia, Algeria and South Africa, but import the components, he said.

"We are actually the first who are doing manufacturing. We are making the motherboards, we are making the sub-boards during the entire process,” he said. "There are over 1,000 pieces per phone."

Thakkar said the plant had cost $24 million and could make 1,200 phones per day.

Smartphones are already being manufactured in Osun State... I'm unsure if AfriOne in Lagos are into smartphones, but I'm sure smartphones are being assembled in Nigeria before now

Not talking of assembling, it stated that they manufacture their motherboards.

Even big world compagnies dont produce 100% of there smartphones . so it always funny when you hear as always " we manufacture 100% of the phones " or "its the first 100% africcan smartphones" . and you discover as always after few years that its an assembly under a license of a chinese or indian smartphone with only a new name .

tell your kulikuli chewing and burukutu drinking president to attract even if na Burkina Faso investors before talking

whether na Chinese or Indian the major thing is that their young vibrant technologically inclined president attracted something meaningful, innovative and advanced that created jobs unlike your Presidiot whose aim and vision is to implement total sharia and RUGA across Nigeria
