The new technology dynamo also promises to strengthen technology that would allow citizens; governments and businesses compete favourably with other strong economies of the world.

africa“Our company is here to resolve ICT solutions delivery issues.” Says the Managing Director of Buyright Africa, Mukoro Emomine.

“We are staking the reputation of the owners and our partners to make big ICT deals happen on this continent, starting with Nigeria. Our experience confirms that the bane of technology development in Africa, mostly in Nigeria, is under funding and high interest rate,” he added.

Mukoro Enomine is a technology guru who has once served as the Managing Director of Zinox Technologies Limited.

BuyRight plans to intervene by enabling such companies leverage on her connections with international and few local equipment manufactures to make sure their projects are comprehensively delivered within agreed timelines.
“ One of our many mandates is also to work with manufacturers to reduce the TCO of ICT equipment in Africa ranging from Computers/Printers/Scanners/Projectors, Software Applications, VSAT equipment, and other lifestyle digital equipment and provide different payment options to encourage usage.” He said.

The company is also launching in strategic partnership with global technology brands such as Dell, HP, Dell, Samsung, Toshiba, Cisco, Zinox, APC, Mercury, and Microsoft.
