Chinese phone company, Tecno, whose business has entered its 10th year the Middle East and African markets, has informed of plans to set up a manufacturing plant in Nigeria.

For effect, the firm said it has secured a large expanse of land in one of the choicest areas of Lagos.

Tecno Deputy Marketing Manager, Nigeria, Attai Oguche, who disclosed this in Lagos, at the launch of the firm’s new mobile devices—Phantom 6 and Phantom 6 Plus, said the firm is committed to the Nigerian market, hence the need to site a manufacturing plant in the country.

Oguche said while Tecno has its first African manufacturing plant in Ethiopia, the firm has established presence in 48 territories, “Nigeria, Kenya and Tanzania respectively remain the biggest market on the continent for the phone company.”

The firm said it has revolutionised mobile telephony in well over 30 African countries; giving mobile users global quality devices at affordable rates. The strategy of adopting innovation works and for Tecno, the turning point was the introduction of dual SIM technology into its range of feature phones and smartphones well before top mobile brands doing business in same markets could respond to a glaring consumer need.

Giving more insight into the newly launched device, which was globally unveiled in Dubai, UAE, Tecno Digital Marketing Executive, Jesse Oguntimehin, said the firm currently controls 25.3 per cent market share in Nigeria.

The Official launch of Phantom 6 on September 25 at Burj Khalifa towers; Dubai is brand’s first step in long-term growth plan for the Middle-east and South American markets

Oguntimehin said Tecno has a good reason to celebrate its first decade of existence; enjoying particularly rising shipment to Africa and south-east Asian markets

Is okay they are free to do so

Any time frame as to when they plan to set up the plant?
There's no denying that this is a welcome development, hopefully its not all talk and they come through on their promise

This will make their devices more affordable

It is a welcomed development, will help solve some problems the country is facing right now. We need a lot of production to start in our country Nigeria

This should help create more jobs for Nigerians

Smart and profitable move. A plus for Nigeria and Techno.

Simple... If you are making huge money from a country then you must invest back in the country.

Best for business in Nigeria

And they say Buhari economic policies are driving away investots... . I keep telling them.. No real investor will leave Nigeria at this point except those who want to just rip us off

Hahahaha

First good and productive news for today

What I hate about this:
Taking a job in a Chinese company is like selling yourself into slavery.

What I like about this:
If Nigerians can try to copy the art of manufacturing from them, just like they did from the western world when they outsourced manufacturing to them. This form of skills transfer and integration is much needed in Nigeria. I hope we learn from it, not to go take jobs with them and grow old working for them.

Good news for the week

wow, that means there phone prices will be extremely low, like phantom 30000.

But never there fans,can't be a fans of phone wey I my finger tip go dey redden like say I dey press Nokia 3310.
