As part of arrangements to commemorate its 10 year anniversary, Zinox Technologies, the manufacturers of Zinox Computer brand have concluded plans to install one of Africa’s largest Digital computers assembling plant in response to the improved power supply in the country.

Zinox Chairman, Leo Stan-Ekeh revealed this while addressing newsmen to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Zinox Computers,

Ekeh revealed that the installation would be concluded in February, 2012 to serve as a major IT manufacturing platform from which the rest of Africa would be supplied.

The design for the digital plant according to him, was concluded a few years back but shipment to Nigeria was stopped due to poor power supply.

He said over the last ten years, the company has justified its corporate existence as No.1 ICT Company in sub Saharan African by intervening in critical national and international projects and leading in strategic ICT projects amongst others.

“Yes we agree we are in a tough terrain, but as pioneers we have proven Nigerians can do it”.

The Zinox boss further said that the 10th Anniversary celebrations were encapsulated in the theme – “10 Years of Adding Digital Value – an attempt to review the journey so far”, adding that the high point of the celebrations is the presentation of three delectable products designed to emphatically add value to the technological growth of Nigeria.

He listed the products as the Zinox Whizkid Professional, a mini notebook designed for the educational sector with content aimed at eliminating poor performance in WAEC, JAMB, and NECO examinations with commitment to refund candidates who failed; the Zinox Legacy, a notebook designed as a souvenir, wrapped in a national symbol, running on 2.0Ghz, 2MB Ram and 320GB; and the Zinox Prestige, a notebook for professionals running on Core i7 processors, 4 MB Ram, and 500GB hard disk.
