In a bid to offer more value to customers and consolidate its customer base, Kade Keyo in early 2018, introduced a singular product called ‘Community’ which embodied the composition of various solution modules.
Since then, they have evolved to repackage each product module to the specific demographic with the problems they aim for the solutions to solve.
Mr. Tanho Attah, founder, Kade Keyo, speaking at their Surulere office in Lagos went memory lane on how the team projected to the future.
Even with the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic, Kade Keyo is still impacting businesses.
According to him, Kade Keyo remains focused on the broad vision which is “to allow people to see our solutions and plug into the opportunities that they create, giving them more freedom to enjoy life and its little pleasures…”

One brand at a time, Kade Keyo intends to create businesses that serve clients with top quality and train the employees with the utmost respect for the customer needs.
Speaking on how they intend to achieve these, Mr. Attah said, Kade Keyo has business modules that are uniquely designed to offer support to clients.
Some of these models, according to him are: “Business Services: This entails a simple business consulting, redesign and management service, accessible to all business owners, current and intending, who require professional help in running a sustainable business.

“Partnerships: A service that allows individuals to directly partner with us on our operations which include features like Affiliate partnership, Financial partnership, Equity partnership and Venture partnership options.

“Projects: With our projects, people can participate in projects we embark on which cover a variety of focuses, as well as engage us to help them activate their own. One of such project is the success story of the “After the Dream” concert, held at the MUSON centre in February, 2015 for a client called Rantique productions, who at the time were looking to produce a concert for the ‘Iwe Kiko’ cross-over opera singer, Ranti”, said Mr. Attah.

Also speaking on Kade Keyo’s plug and play products, the founder said, “In continuing the progress, Kade Keyo have introduced plug and play products that our clients can engage with on a very simple access process.

Some of them are: “Sales Active- A simply designed sales solution platform that allows any business owner to rapidly increase sales using our sales network.
This platform also provides opportunities for people to earn extra income by becoming Sales Agents.
“Grow Fund- This financial partnership product allows people to become a part of our success as a company, being able to acquire Grow Fund units at an available listed price and earn real yields from their partnership, month on month leading up to a capitalizing growth value at the end of its tenure cycle.

“Pitch Deck- This program allows any business owner to present a pitch to prospective investors and access real-time funding and/or partnerships from interested investors who could be both professional investors or private individuals.

“Business Fit – Business Fit creates a regular business class in an informal setting, breaking down the basics of running a business successfully, earning profit and maximizing opportunities. The goal of the business fit program is to enable more business owners find success in operating their various businesses.

When asked about Kade Keyo’s vision 2020 and beyond, Mr. Attah said: “Due to recent activities, we have evolved a large portion of our operations to a fully remote work model, allowing our employees to work remotely, in conditions favourable to their daily work needs and personal lives. As such, a large part of our company operates digitally.

“In order to serve our clients more efficiently, we would be creating a series of KADE KEYO solution centres, which will act as a direct interface between the company and our clients.

“The solution centres will work as a simple access menu list where clients can walk-in, both digitally and physically, and request the solutions that have been best tailored to fit their needs.

“The first solution centre is already live and active and can be found online at @sckadekeyo or [email protected], but will be officially announced on August 1, 2020, with a few more centres to follow shortly after”.

Beyond, Kayo Kade intends to do this, one brand at a time, and have focused their recent investment efforts on two industries: Agriculture and Technology.

“With this, we have invested in setting up 2 ventures with a few more to follow before the end of this year, while opening one of them to private partnership for interested parties.
“They are as follows: TBX Farms: A fully functional citrus farm, focused on cultivating, processing and trading citrus crops. Investments can be bought in at 180,000 ngn per 1%, which we will soon close as we are running out of available units up for sale

“Our second target venture, is an aggregate venture between agriculture and technology, with an investment in multiple millions, primarily funded by Kade Keyo and our private partners. Updates on this venture will be announced when we are ready to go public”.

In all, Kade Keyo is highly focused on value addition to businesses. You can take these opportunities too to rave-up your services.

Cassava Launches Sovereign Cloud for Africa’s Public Sector

Published

Kindly share this post

In the wake of increasing geopolitical tension, Cassava Technologies has unveiled its National Sovereign Cloud offering for African governments.

The solution, the company claims, will help the continent’s governments ensure data is kept on infrastructure that remains under local legal and operational jurisdiction.

According to the official announcement, made yesterday, the solution provides “secure, locally-governed digital infrastructure that enables the deployment of AI-enabled public services”.

The overarching solution encompasses cloud, cyber security, AI computing infrastructure, as well as local language AI models and skills support for governments.

The announcement comes amid increasing uncertainty over the hosting of sensitive national data on cloud services operated by foreign hyperscalers, which are subject to legal frameworks, such as the U.S. CLOUD Act. The CLOUD Act opens the door to allow American authorities to access data stored on the servers of US hyperscalers, wherever those servers are physically located.

Cassava has claimed separately that currently, “approximately 33% to 45% of the world’s data is hosted in the USA”.

The company added: “A sovereign cloud reduces exposure to extraterritorial laws, improves cyber resilience, and ensures that model weights and training data for public AI remain under national custody.”

The Africa Data Centres Association’s 2026 Economic Report states that “data sovereignty has evolved from a legal aspiration into a strategic policy lever”.

Ahmed El Beheiry, Group COO and Group Chief Technology and AI Officer, Cassava Technologies said: “Across Africa, governments are accelerating their digital transformation agendas and are increasingly focused on ensuring that data and digital infrastructure remain secure and sovereign.”

Announced at the Mobile Word Congress in Barcelona, this week, the Sovereign Cloud offering launch accompanied the launch of Cassava’s Cloud Partner programme.

The partner programme targets mobile network operators and system integrators across Africa to resell and distribute AI, cloud, and other digital services using Cassava’s infrastructure and technology platforms.

El Beheiry added: “We are expanding Africa’s sovereign AI ecosystem to build solutions that address the continent’s unique challenges while creating new opportunities for growth and digital inclusion.”

The programme offers partners access to NVIDIA Cloud Partner solutions, Cassava’s AI Factory, its own native AI solutions and its AI Multi-Model Exchange, which supports both Anthropic’s Claude and Google’s Gemini models.

Google has rolled out support for Yorùbá and Hausa languages in its AI-powered Search features—AI Overviews and AI Mode—enabling millions of Nigerians to get quick answers, summaries, and conversational web exploration in their mother tongues.

The update forms part of Google’s push to cover 13 African languages, including Afrikaans, Akan, Amharic, Kinyarwanda, Afaan Oromoo, Somali, Sesotho, Kiswahili, Setswana, Wolof, and isiZulu, selected based on high search activity across the continent.

Now, a Kano student can ask complex questions in Hausa, while an Ibadan trader seeks business tips in Yorùbá—both receiving culturally nuanced AI responses via text or voice on Android, iOS, or web.

Taiwo Kola-Ogunlade, Google’s West Africa Communications Manager, said: “Building truly global Search requires nuanced local understanding. With Gemini-powered AI, we’ve made advanced capabilities relevant in Yorùbá and Hausa, so Nigerians converse naturally with Search in their mother tongues.”

To use: Open the Google app, tap AI Mode, and query in Hausa or Yorùbá for personalised guidance—breaking language barriers and making technology reflect Nigeria’s diverse identity.
