Commending the company for the quality of its personnel, Adesina said: ‘‘Kelechi Eze-Okonta is a repository of the history and capacities of Zinox. She is in her elements when she talks about technology, and what her company brings to the table, and still has up its sleeves. And when you receive such ‘techy’ guests, they usually don’t come empty-handed. They brought a sleek Zinox laptop computer’

In her own remarks, Mrs. Eze-Okonta, who traced the history of Zinox’s many pioneering feats in the Nigerian technology ecosystem, provided rich insights into the company’s exciting trajectory from an indigenous computer manufacturing giant to its current status as an integrated technology and solutions powerhouse.

She disclosed that Zinox has shown strength from a global standpoint, as evident in the confidence shown by renowned multinationals such as Shell, Chevron which relies on it for its workstation deployments; as well as the European Union (EU) which recently attested to the authenticity of the brand by adopting the Zinox Elite Laptop as the device of choice for the support of immunization/Vaccination Governance in Nigeria (EU-SIGN) project.

She also stated that Zinox remains at the forefront of bridging the gap to new and emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Learning, and Robotics, among others, for millions of Nigerians. In addition, she revealed that the company is presently responding to the yearnings of its growing customers, having diversified into other new verticals such as alternative power solutions, lifestyle, and smart home appliances, among others.
