Layer3 Appoints Tomi Davies Chair, Maryamu Aminu Director for Cloud Growth
Nigerian tech infrastructure company Layer3 appoints Tomi Davies as Board Chairman and Maryamu Aminu as Non-Executive Director to drive expansion in enterprise cloud, connectivity, and digital infrastructure across West Africa. The 20-year-old firm, operating from Abuja and Lagos, provides enterprise connectivity, cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, and managed services to businesses and institutions.
Davies brings four decades of technology transformation, investment, and ecosystem-building experience—including founding Lagos Angel Network and leading African Business Angel Network. Aminu adds regulatory and government relations expertise from roles at Access Bank, IHS Towers, Tony Elumelu Foundation, and the U.S. House of Representatives. CEO Oyaje Idoko says the appointments strengthen board oversight as Layer3 scales its enterprise technology business.
The move comes as Nigerian businesses increasingly migrate critical operations to digital infrastructure, demanding reliable connectivity, computing resources, and technical support. Layer3 plans continued investment across its service lines while pursuing opportunities beyond Nigeria.
With Davies' ecosystem access and Aminu's regulatory navigation skills, can Layer3 capture the enterprise cloud shift better than foreign competitors entering the market?
