About DNET
A Nigerian technology company built for the long contract.
Few Nigerian technology companies have traded continuously since the 1990s. Fewer still have re-tooled themselves through every platform shift since.
DNET has been a network integrator, a web company, a licensed internet service provider and an equipment and services supplier — and every one of those capabilities is still in the building. That breadth was not designed in a workshop. It was built by necessity, over nearly three decades of delivering in Nigerian conditions, where the supplier who installs the switch is very often the only person who can explain why the link dropped.
Our base is Abuja and our delivery reach is national. We have operated recurring, scheduled service across all thirty-six states and the Federal Capital Territory under a single maintenance contract — not as a one-off mobilisation, but as a standing monthly rhythm of site visits.
“DNET Systems Limited is a licensed provider of information technology, telecommunication, maintenance and consultancy services.” Recital (A), Maintenance Agreement between DNET Systems Limited and the World Health Organization
