TeKnowledge Unveils AI-First Expert Services and New Brand Identity to Drive Africa’s Enterprise Transformation

A strategic expansion from Nigeria to the continent, redefining digital ecosystems with AI, cybersecurity, and talent development.

TeKnowledge, a global technology services leader, has deepened its footprint in Africa with the official launch of its AI-First Expert Technology Services in Nigeria. This move, accompanied by a refreshed brand identity, highlights the company’s strategic vision to accelerate enterprise and national transformation across Africa.

At the 2025 TeKnowledge Nigeria CxO Summit in Lagos, the company celebrated seven years of local impact while laying out its roadmap for Africa’s digital evolution. Nigeria, serving as TeKnowledge’s largest global hub, has become a launchpad for its expansion across 90 countries, with over 2,000 Nigerian experts driving innovation.

“Our new brand and AI-First Expert Technology Services model are grounded in what has always mattered most: people, trust, and progress,” said Olugbolahan Olusanya, Africa Territory Director, TeKnowledge.

Nigeria’s Role in a Continental Growth Strategy

From the ancient trade routes of Kano to the global rise of Nollywood, Nigeria has long been a beacon of transformation. Today, its vibrant tech ecosystem plays a pivotal role in Africa’s digital economy. TeKnowledge’s investment in Nigeria reflects this reality, with strategic partnerships—most notably with Microsoft—resulting in thousands trained in AI and digital skills, including targeted programs for over 1,000 women.

This people-first approach addresses a critical gap in Africa’s digital workforce, ensuring that AI-driven growth is not only innovative but inclusive.

“Nigerian business leaders aren’t just exploring AI—they’re acting on it with urgency, focus, and vision,” noted Nidal Abou-Ltaif, Chief Revenue and Transformation Officer at TeKnowledge.

AI-First Services: Bridging Ambition and Action

The AI-First Expert Services model represents more than technology; it’s a shift towards scalable, ethical, and locally relevant solutions. TeKnowledge offers end-to-end services spanning advisory, skilling, digital transformation, and managed services, designed to turn strategic ambitions into real-world impact.

Cybersecurity remains central to this offering. With its Security Operations Center hosted in Nigeria, TeKnowledge deploys AI-powered systems that predict threats, detect risks, and respond in real-time. This capability enhances business resilience, improves customer trust, and ensures seamless digital experiences.

Addressing Africa’s Digital Imperatives

While the potential is vast, Africa’s digital transformation faces persistent hurdles: fragmented systems, limited AI-specific talent, and evolving regulatory frameworks. TeKnowledge’s expansion aligns with national strategies like Nigeria’s AI policy, advocating for stronger cross-sector collaboration and sustainable growth.

The company’s workforce of 6,000+ global experts, 70% of whom are certified in key platforms like Microsoft and Genesys, ensures the delivery of high-impact solutions that blend global expertise with local relevance.

The Path Ahead: Building Africa’s Digital Future

TeKnowledge’s vision for Africa is clear—enable enterprises and governments to transform with confidence. By leveraging Nigeria’s position as an innovation hub, the company aims to replicate its success across the continent, fostering ecosystems that are secure, future-proof, and people-centric.
