Leonard Stanley Nnamdi Ekeh is the Chairman and CEO of Zinox Technologies, a computer manufacturing company known for its production of Nigeria’s first internationally certified branded computers. He is also CEO of Buyright Africa Dotcom, and the founder of Task Systems Limited.

Mr Ekeh holds a B.Sc. in Economics from Punjab University, India. He also obtained a degree in Risk Management from Nottingham University in the United Kingdom.

The pioneering role played by Mr Ekeh in Nigeria’s ICT sector began with the setting up of Task Systems Limited in 1987, over a decade before the sector truly came alive in the country. Task Systems Limited has played a major role in setting up and supporting the IT infrastructure of oil companies, banks, international organisations, and government.  Zinox, another of Stan Ekeh’s companies, has worked with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as a systems supplier for the 2006 voter registration exercise, and Direct Data Capture machines for the 2011 elections.

Mr Ekeh has been recognised for his work at the frontiers of Nigeria’s now vibrant tech scene; in 2002, he was honoured with the Icon of Hope award by President Olusegun Obasanjo. He has received numerous other awards from the government, corporate bodies and honorary degrees from universities across Nigeria.

Leo Stan Ekeh will be speaking at ICTEL Expo, an Information and Communication Technology event organised by the Lagos State Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The LCCI ICTEL Expo will take place from July 26 to 28, 2016, at the Eko Hotels and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.
