Zinox Technologies Receives A N85 Billion Census Contract From The Fg

The National Population Commission (NPC) of the Federal Government has signed a historic agreement with Nigeria’s integrated technology company Zinox for the supply of tech parts and other accessories for the 2023 national census project, further demonstrating the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari’s commitment to promoting local content.

Zinox received the deal, which was approved by the Federal Executive Council and is valued over N85 billion (FEC).

After a rigorous bid process that included other local and international competitors, Zinox, the company that has already started supplying the first batch of about 100,000 Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) devices required for the nationwide enumeration, emerged as the preferred technical partner for the exercise.

Zinox was found to have satisfied the criteria as an indigenous technology titan with ties throughout the globe who has continually earned the trust of top Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and other global tech titans.

This, it was discovered, led to the Federal Government endorsing the initiative. Zinox deserves credit for helping the country’s voter registration drive in 2006 and 2010 when major international IT firms hired by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) were unable to deliver on time.

Zinox laid the groundwork for Nigeria’s digital democracy with the help of their Z-Pad smart gadget, which INEC is now expanding upon. The successful completion of the over $200 million INEC contract in 2010 gave Zinox further momentum as a strong, competent domestic firm.
