The Titans of Tech Awards is designed to celebrate Hi-tech pioneers, innovators, individuals, organisations and institutions who have blazed the trail in the industry and have used Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) to improve the way of life in Nigeria.
Henry Emeka Obidi, Head, Project Management, Titans of Tech awards, said that the award was given to Tecno mobile because the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) has also built a strong relationship with its customers, especially in Africa, and has over the years given its customers world class products and support, helping them stay connected all the time.
Speaking at the award ceremony, Obidi said that Tecno is famous for revolutionizing the African mobile phone market with the introduction of dual SIM smartphones.
“It is therefore not surprising that Tecno mobile phones are in high demand across Africa and particularly in Nigeria.
“The Company’s vision to deliver the best technologies to the end users just as it continues to impact Nigerian communities through projects that touch lives, gives credence to its quest to be Nigeria’s number one mobile phone brand of choice”, Obidi said.
Richard Ugochukwu, Senior Marketing Executive, Offline Events and Sponsorships, Tecno mobile Nigeria, accepted the award on behalf of his company.
Ugochukwu noted that; “Tecno is fully established in over 40 African countries with the largest market share in Africa’s fastest growing economies.

Irrespective of your social class, there is a smartphone for everyone and we are happy to say that these efforts have ensured we remain among the top three mobile phone brands in Africa.
