“Our founders had a vision for a greater Nigeria but only a technological disruption will take the nation to the next level.”
The statement above – succinct and thought-provoking – represents one of the driving motivations behind the lofty ambitions of Nigeria’s tech giant, Zinox Technologies Ltd. which featured prominently in a brand new television commercial released by the company last week.
The 60 seconds commercial, which hit the airwaves on Friday, March 2, 2018 and expected to run for three weeks on a number of stations including Channels TV, Africa Independent Television (AIT), Silverbird TV (STV) and Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), is already attracting a huge number of positive reviews.
The engaging and professionally-executed video is also set to hit the digital space this week.
The commercial opens with the scene of a painter who proceeds to depict on a blank white canvas the landscape of an ultra-modern, technologically-advanced mega city, complete with spectacular high-rise structures, design concepts with floating gardens and parks and intricate transport systems using the latest technology.

The commercial proceeds to guide the viewer through the glowing credentials of Zinox: a world-class but Nigerian-based integrated ICT solutions company which has delivered unarguably some of the biggest tech projects on the African continent and with huge capacity to do more.
In addition to the massive structure housing the Zinox headquarters in Lagos, Nigeria, there are shots of the various cutting-edge infrastructure at Zinox, including the digital computer hardware manufacturing and assembly plant, telecoms e-Hub unit, data centre, bandwidth aggregation and digital security infrastructures, Call Centre warehousing facilities as well as after-sales service and support centre, among others.
The company’s multi-pronged status as an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Integrated ICT Solutions provider, E-commerce Solutions company and as a one-stop shop for Special ICT Projects and much more, is also prominently displayed in the commercial.
The over-riding message in the emotive commercial sees Zinox setting the agenda as a forward-thinking ICT company which believes that only through technology can Nigeria live up to the dreams of its founding fathers and take its rightful place in the comity of other technologically-advanced nations of the world.
While urging the viewer to anticipate the future, Zinox makes bold to declare its ambition of being in the forefront of bringing advanced technologies such as Virtual Reality, Big Data, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, etc. and …
