Rack Centre is a Nigerian colocation provider operating a single campus in Ikeja, Lagos, where it runs two separate data center buildings — LGS1 and LGS2 — offering carrier- and cloud-neutral rack space, interconnection, and disaster recovery services to enterprises, ISPs, content providers, and hyperscalers. Founded in 2012 by the Jagal Group and now majority-owned by UK private equity firm Actis (with Convergence Partners and Jagal retaining stakes since a 2020 deal), the company built West Africa’s first Tier III Constructed Facility Certified data center. As of 2025, its combined Lagos campus reached roughly 13.5MW of IT load after LGS2, a 12MW, six-data-hall facility, was commissioned following groundbreaking in April 2023 — expanding on the original 1.5MW LGS1 building that has run since October 2013. Rack Centre markets itself as the largest and best-connected carrier-neutral digital infrastructure hub in West Africa, with direct access to undersea cables including Equiano and 2Africa.
