One of the initiatives is Nigeria's National Digital Economy Policy and Strategy (NDEPS 2020-2030), which aims to enhance the digital landscape of the country. There has been a considerable shift from on-premises data centers to cloud and colocation data centers in Nigeria, which has been further accelerated over the last two years, owing to increased digitalization.
