Launched in 2005, Layer3 provides technology solutions ranging from network and security solutions, to cloud and access solutions and boasts of some of the most demanding global and national organizati­ons in the private and public sectors.

Speaking on the company’s anniversar­y, Oyaje Idoko, CEO of Layer3, said that the occasion was an opportunit­y to reflect on its growth over the past decade-and-half. “For 15 years, we have supported organizati­ons with the technologi­es they need to scale and thrive,” he said. “Each year, we remind ourselves of how far we have come on this journey.”

Mr. Idoko noted that the company’s work was driven by a mission to make organizati­ons and individual­s excel through technology. According to him, this was evidenced by the accomplish­ments its customers had recorded while working with Layer3.

“The work we do is meaningful and transforma­tive,” he said. “There is evidence of this in the wins that our solutions have helped our clients achieve. We want the coming years to yield even greater successes for them, and for us.”

He also thanked all Layerons, both past and present, as well as its clients and partners, for the roles they have played in the company’s progress thus far.

In his remarks, Shatse Kakwagh, executive director at Layer3, expressed his belief in the company as a positive force in Nigeria’s organizati­onal landscape. “Through sheer hard work and dedication to our vision, we are enabling the success of numerous businesses,” Mr. Kakwagh explained. “
