PalmPay launched in Nigeria in 2019 as a mass-market mobile-payments and digital-finance platform. Company management has disclosed the use of AI to flag unusual transactions, identify potential fraud risks, and perform facial recognition, while compliance, risk-control, and technical teams manually review AI alerts and continuously train the systems.

OPay operates a mobile-payment and digital-finance platform in Nigeria. In 2026, the company disclosed that its risk-control system uses machine learning, behavioral analytics, and facial verification: high-risk behaviors such as large transfers, new devices/unfamiliar locations, and unusual transaction times trigger additional verification, while Anti-Scam Shield identifies and blocks suspicious transfers before funds leave the network.

In August 2018, Huawei Nigeria and Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) jointly established the Huawei ICT Academy; in 2022, ABU became Nigeria's first Huawei ICT Academy Support Center. Courses cover AI, cloud, storage, big data, computing, networking, and security, and Huawei also provides online lab environments for AI and cloud.

On 10 December 2024 Huawei launched Nigeria's first hyperscale local cloud in Lagos, running on Tier 3+ data centres with about 15 ms latency and keeping customer data inside Nigeria. Huawei Cloud presented Huawei Cloud Stack 8.5, cloud-native databases and Pangu models. On 27 August 2026, at the Huawei Nigeria AI & Cloud Summit in Lagos, Huawei launched Agentic AI Cloud on the same local cloud for finance, carrier, internet and government customers.
