Digital infrastructure and connectivity solutions provider, Phase 3 Telecom, has called for accelerated investment in digital infrastructure to drive inclusive economic growth across the West African sub-region.
Its Executive Chairman, Stanley Jegede, who made the call at the CCT Global 2025, stressed the critical importance of cross-border and inland digital infrastructure in accelerating Africa’s economic transformation.
Jegede spoke to a global audience alongside senior executives from leading global technology companies and wholesale network operators- including thought leaders from organisations such as Meta, Google, Microsoft, among others during Africa Spotlight panel at the summit held at The Alex Hotel, Dublin. The session, moderated by Russell Southwood, explored the infrastructure imperatives necessary to close Africa’s connectivity gap.
“Africa’s future rests on how fast we can close the digital divide. Cross-border infrastructure is not just about cables- it is about unlocking opportunities, advancing equity, and enabling regional prosperity,” Jegede said.
With over two decades of industry leadership, Jegede has remained at the forefront of building critical telecom infrastructure across West Africa. Under his guidance, Phase3 Telecom has deployed some of the region’s most strategic fibre optic networks-while expanding its footprint through national fibre rollouts and integrated satellite broadband solutions.
