Kingsley Adonu, founder and head of S Mobile Group and a serial entrepreneur, has declared his intention to open an innovation hub in Enugu State, which he has named the S Mobile Tech Hub.
He said the Tech Hub is a S Mobile Group corporate social responsibility (CSR) project to help young people learn new skills, start their businesses, and create jobs in the state’s new technology and advances.
Kingsley Adonu, the visionary businessman who made S Mobile Group a name for excellence and diversity, said that the hub was created to honour the creativity of the State Governor, Dr. Peter Mbah, who has shown that he can change the economy of the Southeastern State, as well as the creativity of young people in the State and the need to use their skills for better and more positive things instead of bad things like Internet fraud.

Kingsley’s wisdom fosters growth
Under Kingsley’s wise leadership, S Mobile Group has become MTN’s leading partner, as shown by the brand’s influence in telecommunications. He made the group a dynamic player in numerous industries with his strategic insights and forward-thinking approach.
S Mobile, the leading development agent, wants to change South East’s technology industry through its proposed hub by providing business support services to help new and existing businesses thrive.
“S Mobile Tech Hub is a vision to manifest the Group’s deliberate programmes to build a dynamic and vibrant startup ecosystem in this region, starting with Enugu State.
Again, it shows our support for His Excellency Dr Peter Mbah, the Executive Governor of Enugu State, who has openly stated his desire to develop a resilient city with minimal poverty. Tech firms are becoming major economic value generators in the 21st century; thus, we subscribe to that idea.

He said that S Mobile Tech Hub will use trends to speed up its plan, especially as AI, robotics, big data, and other technologies become more commonplace.
“S Mobile Tech Hub is also driven by the desire to support high-quality projects that have a big positive effect on development, like creating jobs and reducing poverty, to raise the socioeconomic status of Nigerians, especially young people.”
He said that when the hub is finished, it will have many things, such as high-speed internet, shared and private office areas, and a well-equipped robotics training lab.
