This three-week structure focuses on Frank Eleanya, as his recent recognition as the 2025/2026 Tech Journalist of the Year at AOT Lagos makes him the most relevant figure in the Nigerian tech journalism scene right now.

Week 3: Current Work & 2026 Trends
Title: The Future of Nigerian Tech: AI and Data Sovereignty
• Major 2026 Prediction: Frank’s recent investigative focus has been on AI Data Centers. He recently published a data-driven report predicting that Nigeria is likely to get its first dedicated AI data center in 2026, spurred by the commissioning of Equinix’s LG3 facility in Lagos.
• Focus on Local Solutions: In 2026, Frank is closely following the “Hardware Shift”; how Nigerians are moving away from expensive global brands toward locally assembled devices due to currency fluctuations.
• His Contribution to the Blog Shop: By following Frank, we learn that science and tech reporting in Nigeria isn't just about discovery; it's about survival, economic growth, and building systems that actually serve the 200 million people living here.
