those he partners with , too : “ We have the same expectations for them as we do of ourselves . Cultural alignment helps , but a collective ability and desire to learn from each other is also helpful . I also think open graciousness is key ; something I really do believe in .”
Sustainably connecting Africa The culture of excellence Coker is cultivating within OADC is designed to ensure that it delivers a truly innovative and client-centric data centre experience ; one that puts its clients at the centre of Africa ’ s digital transformation .
MISSION STATEMENT
OADC plans to open its second core data centre in Nigeria later this year . On a four-hectare site in Lekki , Lagos – the largest data centre campus in West Africa - the US $ 100mn , Tier III-quality facility will have up to 20MW of capacity and 7,200 sqm ( 77,500 sq ft ) of white space , with further expansion potential subject to demand . The Equiano subsea cable lands directly into this data centre .
“ The quality of client interaction has to be such that every touchpoint is an outstanding experience , something we work at continuously and embody in our culture . Our client comes first ; working with us has to be a totally different experience compared to any other operator , so those are the expectations I put in place here at OADC . We have to underpin the delivery of this expectation through the people we employ , ensuring that every single person in this organisation has the ability and desire to delight each client , and they have to be fully engaged in that process .
