Nigerian IT
distributors won five out of 12 RITA Awards, the first-ever initiative
for African channel partners last week, in a further acknowledgement of
Nigeria’s increasing importance as a world-class IT market.

Three of the
country’s leading resellers of IT products from the African nation took
home the majority of the 12 Redington IT Africa (RITA) Awards, during
RITA’s inaugural event held in Dubai recently.

Nigerian
distributors, Park N Shop, Ajatech Computers Limited, and Systemtech
Services Limited shared between them five of the 12 RITA Awards, after
beating off fierce competition from their counterparts in other African
countries.

Redington Africa is
the leading IT distributor and supply chain systems provider and boasts
of an impressive client portfolio including Acer, Canon, HP, IBM,
Samsung, Toshiba, and Western Digital, among others.

In his address at
the RITA Awards, Raj Shankar, Managing Director for Redington Gulf,
said: “Emerging markets in Africa will continue to drive our expansion
strategy due to the strong demand for quality IT products and economies
keen to implement the most sophisticated solutions.” More than 60
leading channel IT partners from 12 countries from Africa were
represented at the awards function which took place in Dubai.

Redington Gulf,
part of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) listed Redington India Ltd, is
one of the leading and fastest growing IT distributors in the Middle
East and Africa region.
