When most technology is made in Asia, I'm happy to see a home-grown Nigerian computer company doing well. As Rebecca Wanjiku reports, Omatek is growing in Nigerian and Ghana and looking to expand in other countries:

"Omatek PCs are at par with other global brands. We buy raw materials from Taiwan. Our chips are from Intel and AMD, which makes the cost of production almost the similar to other global brands," added Seriki.

The company sells about 10,000 PCs a month, but with a population of 150 million in Nigeria alone, the company is forecasting increased growth as the countries get connected to the fiber optic cables and costs of connectivity fall. West Africa has Sat3 cable and this year Glo and Main One fiber optic cables have entered the markets.

I first heard of Omatek a few years ago, when I saw their Smartbook laptop in Ghana, and I was impressed:

Good luck to Omatek - may they grow and prosper in the rapid digitalization of Africa.
